INTRODUCTION
Most colleges and universities are faced with challenge and stability during college in time with the student’s selection of course. This phenomenon seems global throughout the educational institution in the tertiary. Students flock to courses which seemingly interest them but tend to shift to other courses at other times.
From the point of view of development, individuals given a longer and healthier life span may change overtime and find out that an earlier occupational choices no longer satisfies them viewed from this perspective choices made in adolescence may be less important than the ability to make good decision. Flexibility and willingness to change may be as critical as the ability to commit oneself to particular goal, thus shifting courses is no exemption.
It is true that with the exemption of certain schools and certain courses, freshmen and sophomores usually take general introductory courses, while junior and seniors are concentrating in the academic subjects. But what causes the shifting from one course to another would obviously mean that several failures may be responsible for a person’s choice.
In the Philippines, College students are not exempted from this tendency. It is commonly experienced these days that a good number of freshmen students shift from one course to another every semester. It has always been a burden on the part of the student’s immediate superior swho approved the shifting of courses. In fact, the incidence of indecision in occupational choice among college students has become a burden to some faculty members in college level, since shifting is a product of irrational decision which notably interferes with the educational growth of the students.
