There are two major types of job‐choice models in the current literature. One may be called an ideal job model, and the other is primarily a linear utility model. This study attempts to compare the predictive capacity of the two types of models. The ideal job model implemented in the study performs better than a linear utility model in predicting preferences among a set of standard job offers.
