Abstract
The intrinsic and extrinsic switchers are playing an important role in career development of student fraternity. Now a days, the widespread education had allowed the aspirants to plan or design a career by breaking down the barriers of it. It is also allowed them to have dual or multiple careers, either sequentially or concurrently. Thus, professional uniqueness has become hyphenated or hybridized to mirror this swing in vocation ethic. Therefore, the role of the career counselor and of the career advisor have grown up due to a wide range of choices in the potential professions and widespread education. Every person has got the right to decide his own career. But most of the people are ignorant or not giving due consideration for the intrinsic aspects and hence they lack to utilize this right in a proper manner. Here comes the relevance and importance of this study, “The Role of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Switchers in Career Option”. The main objective of this study is to analyze the influence of both intrinsic and extrinsic switchers in opting career. For this study data were collected through self-administered questionnaire to obtain information from students who are studying in various professional programmes in Kerala. The collected data were analyzed by using Weighted Mean and Z-Test to draw the results of the study. Findings of the study reveal that there is only a very few of them are selecting professional programmes with a vision to attain glittering career. Most of them are acting as imitators, because they just follow the trend which is prevailing in our society. Therefore, the researcher suggests all career aspirants to give due consideration for intrinsic switchers just as extrinsic switchers. By this foot step we can enjoy and flourish in our career.
