A person’s career orientation is an important aspect of one’s successful development. Having a job means not only creating new social relationships and resolving existential issues, but it is also a manifestation of adaptation to the norms and demands of society etc. Our longitudinal study currently comprises 83 participants aged 41 to 44 years. In this part we focused on child and adolescent antecedents of career orientation. Only personality characteristics in the middle adolescence were directly related to the career orientation. In adulthood, no significant associations were found. Atmosphere in the family of origin, intelligence and school achievement had only an indirect connection to the career orientation. The job career area shows rather specific features compared to other longitudinal research studies. To explain them one has to consider the macro-contextual changes which had occurred in the Czech Republic at the time our study participants had entered the labor market.
