2.7 Employment opportunities
Students are often attracted to post-secondary education because of the career opportunities it may provide
Sevier (1998). Paulsen (1990) stated that students often make college choices based on existing job
opportunities for college graduates. Students are interested in outcomes. They are influenced by what
graduates are doing, what graduate schools they attend and contributions that they are making to society
(Sevier, 1997). Consequently, this study hypothesizes that employment opportunities is a significant predictor
that influences college choice decision.
H7: There is a significant positive relationship between employment opportunities and college choice
decision.
