Results of empirical research prove that grit and gender are proven to significantly influence students' career decision making. Grit correlate to career decision making with pearson-correlation score 0.519 (p <0.001) and gender correlate to career decision making with pearson-correlation score 0.277 (p <0.005). Simultaneously,  grit and gender make 28% (p<0.000) effective contribution to student’s career decision making.
