Certainly, while selecting an occupation and work, the material standard of the fam- ily, prospects for education and work in a given area, and the expected remuneration are of great importance. It happens that occupational motivation changes during education. With age, there occurs the crystallization of interests and closer familiarization with the occupation learned, which may modify the to-date attitude.Objective: The objective of the study was recognition of the opinions of adolescents completing agricultural schools concerning the selection of an occupation, further education, and personal life.Material and methods: The study was conducted by the technique of a survey.
