Many studies about high school students' choosing their career have been focused on the motives and decision making processes of their entering universities. In addition to the motives of high school students' entering universities or junior colleges, the present study examined the motives of their entering special training school and those of getting jobs. One hundred and five girl students (12th grades) were asked to rate the strength of motives for these three kinds of careers and to answer which career they had chosen. Factor analyses found both factors common to all the three kinds of careers and factors peculiar to each career. Relationships between these obtained motives and the career which they really chose were discussed.
