    (Department of Computer Science,Nasarawa State University Keffi., 2015-03-10) Adegoke, G. K.; Azige, G.D.
    Most young school leavers enter into some careers by chance but not by choice. This phenomenon is sequel to inadequate career awareness. This, in fact, usually deprives them maximum utilization of their potentialities. This study was therefore carried out on the Computer Science students to evaluate the level of their career awareness and its influence on their eventual choice of Computer Science as a career. The result of the study revealed that the respondents' career awareness level is very low. The study concluded suggestions on how to improve career awareness level among young school leavers such as employing and posting of qualified career counselors to the secondary schools, training adequate career counsellors in the tertiary institutions, redesigning of the syllabi of the teacher education at the tertiary level to include courses on career counseling.
