      Аннотация: This book explores how the career decisions of senior high school students affect their choice of academic programmes. The descriptive survey design was employed for this study. The researcher used both questionnaire and interviews as the main instruments for data collection. The target population for the study was all the first students of Kadjebi-Asato senior high school. In all, 80 students were used for the study. Simple random sampling strategy under the probability sampling technique was employed to select respondents for the study. Percentages were used for the analysis of the response. Findings showed that the career decisions of senior high school students strongly affect their choice of academic programmes. It also emerged from the study that students consider their own interest, intellectual abilities, parents’ advice, friends/peers career choice, individual value, societal perception, teachers’ advice, occupation of parents among others when making career decisions. It was recommended that the Ghana Education Service should ensure that each educational unit has a guidance and counseling centre to offer guidance services to students relating to career decisions.
