ENCareer management as a lifelong lasting process becomes very actual in modern society due to numerous reasons. In a general sense, the environment becomes turbulent; therefore it is natural that career environment is chaotic as well. Nevertheless, career for many people is, undoubtedly, very important as it is directly related to life quality. Professional activity satisfies almost all human needs: physiological, safety, social, attainment, self-realization, independence, autonomy, and other. The efficiency of the mentioned activity and the ability of the person to construct their career are closely related things. Individual’s career process studies have become especially popular recently, because deeper career perception helps to understand the most important relations between man and work, career management and constant learning, helps not only to know person’s abilities, but also the abilities to give oneself to modern environment, to understand career projection possibilities, to plan one’s professional future.Seeking to analyze final-year university student position regarding career questions, a written survey was carried out. The research was carried out between September 2015 and March 2016. The research sample (185) was structured applying a consecutive “bunch” system. The respondents from three Lithuanian universities – Klaipėda, Vilnius and Šiauliai – were selected in the sample. Professional career parameters were evaluated: career management competency, study influence and work values. The research is grounded in a mixed strategy, with quantitative and qualitative research approaches combined. The obtained results, based on qualitative analysis, are presented in this research.
