I have used the resources of 「2011 High School Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey(HSGOMS)」 from KEIS. The results on actual analysis are listed as following. First, It was more effective in labor market outcomes(employment status, wages, job satisfaction) that voluntary choice of tracks and majors of vocational high school for reasons such as employment, college admissions and career prospects than involuntary choice for reasons such as a middle school record or recommendation of parents, teachers and friends. According to this result, Middle school students scheduled to attend high school should be provided career guidance about purpose of vocational high school, majors information etc. and programs that enhance self-motivation in career choice.  Second, Choice of tracks of high school due to employment was positive effective in employment status, wages, job satisfaction. According to this result, it is important that an applicant who agree ‘employment after high school graduation’- purpose of vocational high school is selected. Third, Career guidance and employment support in high school and in the home were also mostly positive effective in employment status, wages, job satisfaction.
