1.1 Background to the Study
Man, having been formed in a mortal state, is exposed to a variety of illnesses that might quickly send him to his death. The only way for man to generate comfort and improve his prospects of survival is for him to put in the effort necessary to provide for his fundamental requirements, which include food, shelter, and clothes.
What exactly is work?
Using physical strength and mental force in order to perform or achieve anything, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is considered to be "work."
Individuals from all across the globe have varying attitudes about and preferences for employment. We can't all do the same thing at the same time. Each of us has a unique set of interests, abilities, personalities, and aptitudes that allow us to pick the career that is the greatest match for us. This is referred to as "career choice" in our society (Okorodudu, 2006). The purpose of this research is to evaluate the validity of Ginzberg's theory of career development among freshmen at a federal university.
Ginbergs hypothesis of career growth and choice was the result of a research conducted in 1962 by a group of four speculators, led by Eli Ginzbergs, that was published in 1962.
