An appropriate occupation, somehow, is one of the significant factors that takes an influence on the right and sustainable development of individual’s personality. Therefore, vocational orientation can not be separated from personality education for students. Students at the age of 16 to 20 may have many projections and ambitions to achieve, and one of the most crucial is career. To students, a right career will be the beginning of successful life and a sustainable development, at this point the purpose of vocational orientation was fulfilled. In fact, haft of students of vocational college drop out of school after first years and some still not satisfy with their choice after graduation. From our experiences other studies, a good personality has a strong relationship with career choosing. Therefore, we focus on two issues: 1). Good values from family and school that students be influenced; 2). How those values correlated with career choice. In this study, methods used are questionnaire, interviews and meta data analysis. From the results, our recommendation is “Reinforcing comprehensive education at primary education”.
