Justification for proposed study
• Suitable course selection is one of the key factors in student
success and, unfortunately, the majority of students fail to
complete their studies because the course they have chosen
does not match their expectations or their interests (Maurice,
2015).
• Research has indicated a need for students to make informed
and sound career choices for themselves, and to be aware of
their own natural aptitudes and knowledgeable about the
different possible careers they want to pursue (Babad, 2001;
Babad et al., 2008; Babad & Tayeb, 2003).
