Making career decisions is an important task for young people, which intensifies at the end of primary school when they assess their working abilities with regard to the requirements of their future vocation. The general aim of this research is to determine whether there is a difference between students with mild intellectual disability (MID) and typically developing (TD) students in making career decisions, and if there is, what the nature of that difference is. The influence of age, gender, family environment and general school success on making career decisions is separately assessed. The sample consists of 71 examinees (31 or 43.7% students with MID and 40 or 56.3% TD students), of both genders, attending the seventh and eighth grade at three Belgrade primary schools. Career Decision Scale - CDS was used to assess the ability to make career decisions. The research results indicate that students with MID are inconsistent in choosing careers when compared to TD students, since they have more difficulty in understanding the congruence between personal characteristics, abilities and skills, and the selected career (p=0.023), they are less informed on the careers (p=0.014), they make decisions less frequently (p=0.043), they do not have enough information on the vocational training in which they are interested (p=0.001), and they are more in need of organized support in choosing careers (p=0.012). Some TD students do not agree with their parents in making their career choice (p=0.000), they are not equally informed on what career leads to the fastest employment (p=0.032), uncertain TD student would like to do a test which would help them decide on the career which is best for them (p=0.000), and a number of TD students do not know whether they can relate what they like doing at present to their future career (p=0.032). Girls showed greater maturity in choosing careers than boys, as well as eighth grade students when compared to seventh-graders (p=0.000). The influence of age (p=0.794), family environment (p=0.102), and general school success (p=0.123) on the ability to make career decisions was not confirmed
