Each Expertise Competency has its own enthusiasts, they have certain considerations before selecting a skill competency. Likewise with students who choose the Multimedia Engineering Skills Competency. They also have special considerations. For students who wish to choose the Multimedia Engineering Skills Competency, they will consider their talents, interests, personality, motivation, aspirations, perceptions or views, and the job opportunities they will get after graduating later by looking at the needs of the world of work and the number competitors, as well as encouragement from parents and peers for a job or for the Competency of Multimedia Engineering Skills itself. The considerations of each student are different from each other. This is because they have different talents, interests, personalities, motivations, aspirations and perceptions or views in assessing a Skills Competency, especially the Multimedia Engineering Skills Competency. Based on observations and field facts when carrying out activities at the Yogyakarta Vocational School, namely, the number of students who do not have basic talents and skills choose the Multimedia Engineering Skills Competency. In addition, some students complained in following the lesson. This is because they are forced to follow the wishes of their parents without considering the talents, interests, and basic skills possessed by students. In addition, there are some students who enter the wrong Skills Competency because of a lack of information about the Skills Competencies in SMKN 3 Yogyakarta. Of course this will make it difficult for students to follow the lesson and affect the motivation and achievement of student learning.
