Vocational High Schools have a significant place in the national education system and contribute to the economy by fostering qualified mid-level technicians. Students who prefer these educational institutions determine their profession at a very early age. Dissatisfaction of occupation due to the choices made at early ages result in the waste of resources which affect not only students and their families but also the national economy. In this study, occupational choice has been examined specifically involving ‘marine occupations’. The factors affecting the occupational choice made at early ages and the level of satisfaction from their occupational choice have been investigated by raking method. Frequency, ANOVA and t-test analysis have been performed in the analysis. Questionnaire survey has been conducted on the students in several maritime vocational high schools in Izmir namely İzmir Çeşme Ulusoy Maritime Anatolian Vocational School, İzmir Güzelbahçe İMKB Maritime Anatolian Vocational School and İzmir Konak Nevvar Salih İşgören Maritime Anatolian Vocational School. The survey was carried out in 2013-14 academic year. The results reveal that most of the students make their occupational choice with their own decisions or under the influence of their families. The satisfaction level of students from their occupational choice is increasing day by day. Male students think they are suitable for marine occupation and are more satified than female students at their occupational choice.
