upon on their career plans in the future.

2. Parents it may help them to know what is best for their children and act

accordingly. They should teach their children on how to be considerate

about the path they will pursue based on their interest and let them exhibit

their abilities in order to develop their hidden talents and skills.

3. Teachers must teach the proper ways on how to reassert and focus more on

their fields and subsequently cater a better learning experience for students

and guide them to cope up in their future job environment.

4. School authorities should conduct relevant programs for students like

career guidance programs, counselings, tutorials, and the like to enable

them to find ways and means to improve the students’ abilities and skills

that would empower them to pursue meaningful careers. They can also

give insights into the quality of education that K-12 offers to students.

5. For future studies, the researchers suggest to widen the scope of the study

and contain additional variables to acquire more accurate data that will

suffice and justify the topic being discussed or researched.
