Every person has some goals, aspirations and plans in life that he would like to realise or accomplish in the future. For young people especially these plans are special, because in large measure they mark out their future life path. In second place they put an interesting job that matches their interests. Nearly 42 percent of the respondents set such a goal for themselves. The attainment of a high occupational position and pursuing a career is occupying an ever-higher place in the plans of young people.
Occupational success is identified with higher education.
Sixty-three percent of the respondents who want to make a career intend to get a higher education. In comparison with previous years, the importance of love and friendship in life has declined from 41 to 35 percent. However, this value still occupies third place in the hierarchy of goals and aspirations. Love and friendship is more important for girls than for boys. For several years the hierarchy of life goals of Polish young people has remained relatively stable.
