FACTORS OF CHOOSING A PROFESSION FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PLANNING TO ENROLL IN UNIVERSITIES OF THE MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS ^{[№ 1 ' 2024]}
The study is devoted to the study of the factors of career choice by graduates of secondary educational institutions planning to enroll in universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that professional activity, job satisfaction strongly affects the life of any person as a whole. The scientific specificity of the problem consists in the need for constant updating of data in connection with the rapid dynamism of the surrounding reality, the constant change in the list of demanded professions, the motives prevailing among future applicants. The results quickly become outdated, require updating, and regular career guidance work with high school students is also necessary. The conducted research shows that only a part of potential students of the universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs showed awareness and planned their personal, psychological, physical, and intellectual development in the context of their future profession. The study involved eleventh-graders from Omsk schools who plan to enroll in universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The study revealed the factors that schoolchildren are focused on when choosing a profession, as well as the subjects' ideas about their personal positive qualities and qualities that, in their opinion, should be among the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The leading motive for admission was the possibility of self-realization, as well as the proximity of the location from home and the advice of parents, relatives, acquaintances. The assumption that the dynastic nature of the profession and romantic ideas about the profession may be significant has not been confirmed. These factors are present, but they do not occupy a leading position. The study conducted a content analysis of the subjects' ideas about their personal positive qualities and qualities that, in their opinion, should be among the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Honesty has become the most popular quality, both among the positive qualities of high school students and among the qualities, according to the study participants, important for employees of internal affairs bodies. The results of the study are of practical importance for career guidance specialists in schools and vocational educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
