This study examines college students and their self-evaluation of career opportunities in the job market. We also investigate the antecedents of academic achievement and employment perceptions. Using a structural equation modeling framework, we found that self-efficacy, social support, and hope influenced perception of employment opportunities. Hope and core self-evaluations predicted academic achievement in our model. No gender differences were found across the nomological network. The authors of the study also discuss the implications, limitations, and future research directions.
