In this study I examined empirically the effects of part-time employment on high school student's vocational consciousness. As a result of the analysis of high school students sample(n=213) from KRIVET's "A Study on the Korean Vocational Consciousness" data, I found several facts as follows.
First, approximately a fourth of high school students experienced part-time employment.
Second, senior or male students were more experienced than freshmen and junior or female students were. There was no difference according to family income.
Third, more high school students experienced part-time employment, relative to other students, have ever thought concretely about their career or job.
Fourth, occupational value high school students experienced part-time employment was more concrete or socio-economical rather than internally oriented.
Finally, part-time employment also influenced high school students' occupational attitude, opinion, and custom.
Student's employment became a reality that Korean education and society faced. More and more students involved in part-time employment in modern society and it is influential to student's career. It is necessary to lead student's employment to be desirable, instead of prohibition.
