The increasing options of complex work life and expanding professions, as well as the career decision process today are challenging. Individuals can face various barriers that can impact their career future and their whole life. Although factors such as culture, gender, education policies, and occupational development levels change between societies, these factors are generally affect careers. Additionally, lifestyle, socio-economic level, value, skills, and interest of individuals both support career decisions and may also create certain barriers. When all these variables are combined, a career decision can be challenging. In this study, the purpose is to consider the career decisions of teacher candidates in terms of perceived career barriers and career futures. For data collection, the Career Decision Scale, Perceived Career Barriers Scale and Career Future Scale were applied to a total of 499 students in the education faculties of two public universities among which 383 were female and 116 were male. Based on the ttest results, it is found that unconscious career decisions and the environmental factors are sub-dimensions of the career decision scale; all subdimensions of career barriers and the knowledge sub-dimension of career futures are in favour of male participants while the optimism sub-dimension of career futures is in favour of female participants. Based on the Pearson correlation analysis results, a significant relationship was identified between the career decision sub-scale scores and the sub-scale scores of perceived career barriers and career future scales. Additionally, based on a multiple regression analysis, in perceived career-barrier scale factors such as gender discrimination, factors related with skill and lack of interest, lack of motivation and insufficient preparation, effects of family and environment predicted 65% of the scale and in career barriers scale, career compatibility predicted 65% of total variance of career decisions.
