Abstract

The research aimed to examine the connection between career counselling and career choice and its influence on the process of choice procedure of higher secondary level students. Students must not be forced to comply with the wishes of their parents and must not make career choices due to pressure. One can only succeed in any field with motivation and self-interest. The author emphasizes the importance of career counselling for both students and parents in Pakistan. The study emphasizes the importance of providing students with adequate career counselling and awareness about different degree programs and career prospects. It is integral to making informed career decisions and can lead to career growth, success, and higher self-esteem. The lack of such counselling in Pakistan has resulted in limited career choices for female students and a negative perception of electronic media-related careers.
