Abstract
This work is a systematic, controlled, empirical and critical research with a descriptive design done in 2013 and 2015, about current preferences that young people have at the time of continuing their post-secondary education.
We could conclude that there is a strong tendency to choose degrees related with Social and Human Sciences closely followed by Biological, Ecological and Health Sciences, together with Administration and Trade degrees.
The professional interests of students are related with:
• The influence that exerts the orientation from which they graduate.
• Poor concordance between interests which they are aware of and their genuine preferences.
• Multiplicity of interests which are due to a poor self-concept.
• Insecurity in the election generated by pressure of time and resistance to abandon the evolutionary stage.
The results obtained allowed us to make contributions aimed to improve existing education policies related to Educational Orientation
