摘要：The purpose of this study was to examine career aspirations of pregnant
and/or parenting adolescents. Social Cognitive Career Theory provided the
theoretical framework. Females enrolled in a teenage parenting center completed
a questionnaire to determine career aspirations. Findings indicated age and
source of career information had a significant effect on career aspirations of
participants. Pregnant adolescents aspired to more prestigious careers than
parenting adolescents and adolescents who were both pregnant and parenting. A
large portion of participants aspired to become registered nurses. Findings from
this study can assist educators, counselors, and families in developing long-term
programs to provide pregnant and parenting adolescents academic and career
development skills for success in attaining their future career aspirations.
