Career choice is a determination in decision making as a process where a person makes his choice based on the abilities and qualifications of the students themselves, according to the characteristics of each major, interests, talents, and knowing plans for future career prospects. Trait and Factor can be interpreted as a directive-counseling or counselor- centered approach, having the basic view that human personality is a system of interdependent traits and factors.
