Abstract	This study examined correlates of career choice among 210 senior secondary school students in Tarka LGA of Benue State, Nigeria. The respondents were in the age range of 12-22 years. The study consisted of 93 male and 117 female students. Data were collected using career choice scale (CCS), Locus of control scale (LCS) and Conscientiousness scale (CS). Four hypotheses were tested using independent t-test. There was no significant difference between male and female students on career choice. There was no significant difference between students with internal and external locus of control on career choice. There was no significant difference between students from educated and uneducated parents on career choice. It was also found there was no significant difference between students who scored high and low on conscientiousness on career. It was concluded that all the study variables did not related to career choice. Based on these findings, it was recommended that guidance counselors should not consider sex difference, parental education, locus of control and conscientiousness when guiding the younger ones on which career to go for, but instead focus on the interest of the child.
