Abstract

This purpose of this research was to know about career maturity of high school students. Career maturity needs to be examined considering many students not ready to choose a career direction when later graduated high school. As for this research involve 206 students from several schools in Medan City. We used the Career Maturity Inventory form C by Crites & Savickas [8] who were adapted into Indonesian language. CMI Form C provides a total score for career choice readiness, and consist of four dimension as follows concern, curiosity, confidence, and consultation. The results showed Career maturity of high school students in Medan in middle category. The dimensions of Concern and Consultation are higher than the dimensions of Curiousity and Confidence. This indicates that high school students are still not looking for more information about their career, and also not confidence about their ability. Because of that increased awareness of careers is indispensable to increase the maturity of high school student career.
