Abstract

Purpose: The goal of this study is to present the results for job seekers who have graduated from public universities. Methodology/approach: Quantitative and qualitative methods were used in this study.

The study adopted a purposive sampling technique to select respondents and seven case studies to draw qualitative conclusions. The study also employed The chi-squared test was used to test the hypotheses.. Results/Findings: The results of the hypothesis are as follows: there is a strong relationship between economic crisis and highly salaried jobs ( ); a medium relationship between more time to complete graduation and the pressure on job career ( ); a medium relationship between lower preparation for a job and more participants than job capacity ( ); and finally, a medium relationship between cultural influence on respondents’ behavior and alienation from family and relatives ( ). This study also discovered that pressure on students comes from a variety of sources, including family, workplace, cultural hegemony, and academic pressure. Finally, the study concludes that students may reduce demands, the government can increase employment, and jobless youth may develop self-servicing possibilities for living. Limitations: The researchers had limitations because, even without these findings, the environment and appropriateness might be advantageous for graduates instead of pressures. Another barrier is time and money. Contribution: Students, job seekers, and society at large who are concerned about unemployment and the programs that may address it both domestically and internationally will find the research to be helpful.

Abstract

Most public university students in Bangladesh have career-related issues in the form of either career indecision or making the wrong choice. Hence, the study aims to identify the factors that influence public university students' job choices. The study employed a quantitative approach. Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR) was selected purposively, then using simple random sampling to get 100 participants between January - July 2023. The study discovered that social and cultural elements, environmental factors, economic concerns, educational considerations, career aid and counseling, and personality qualities all had an impact on their career choices. However, economic factors, especially, motivate them to choose highly paid and status-oriented jobs. In addition, the students (94%) who were aware of career choice, possessed (60%) to work in the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) for respect, social safety, and financial stability. Moreover, only 40 percent of the students showed interest in working in other government jobs, non-government jobs, and a few of them identified business as their next workplace. In a nutshell, having a job in BCS is the priority of students, which reflects the notion of dependency on the government instead of being an entrepreneur and self-employed. However, the findings will be useful to scholars, students, job seekers, and the general public who are worried about career choices, both locally and abroad.
