Abstract

The article presents the results of empirical research of the interrelation between teenagers' psychological features and professional self-determination. It is revealed that the high level of motivation to success and low level of motivation to avoiding failures most probably defines the choice of “enterprise" professions. While the low level of motivation to success and high level to avoiding of failures mean that “intellectual" profession will be chosen. The author states that there is certain correlation between different values of personal orientations and motives of choosing a profession. The dominating value remembering about a person's own shortcomings and the drawbacks of other people defines the motive choosing a career which be in compliance with personal opportunities.
