The authors present descriptive data on 464 high school students' perceptions of various factors that might influence their current career expectations. Results suggest that high school adolescents are aware of a variety of internal and external influences on their current career expectations. Girls endorsed more types of influence for mothers, female friends, and female teachers than did boys.
