This study explores the career ambitions of Saudi children. The results of the survey sampling of 277 children ages 7 - 14, from rural and urban Saudi society, show that there are some differences in orientation and ambition regarding their future career choices depending on their sex, father’s education, and family background. In contrast, no such variations were found to be related to age, mother’s education, or parents’ occupation.
Keywords: ambitions, children, career ambitions, children occupations, rural areas, rural-ubran occupations, occupational choices.
