Youth, its objectives, readiness for life, education are the future of Lithuania. One of the major solutions of a young person is related to the choice of a future profession, and this solution is influenced by many factors: certain demands, calls and interests, capabilities and intellect, character and temperament, goals and values. The results of professional activities of a human being depend on his/her attitude towards the chosen profession and the motivation behind that choice. The motives of learning through which the goal and meaning of the activities is perceived sprout up from different needs that first of all occur in the family, and later--at school. Thus, the primary role of the school is to assist a person in finding oneself, in creating one's future. A personality must be fully mature to be able to make an informed decision, including choosing a profession. A deliberate choosing of a profession is related to the rating of such a profession. It is related to the endeavour to comprehend what mental qualities or personal features (capabilities, calls, character) are necessary for the future profession. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
