Abstract

Students in the Fashion Design concentration of the Family Welfare Education program have two main career orientations: becoming educators and fashion entrepreneurs. Differences in their inclination toward these two options are important to examine because the study program equips students with both pedagogical competencies and professional fashion skills. This study aims to compare interest in becoming a teacher and interest in entrepreneurship among the of Fashion Design students. The study employed a comparative quantitative approach. The population consisted of 73 students, and a sample of 62 students was selected through random sampling with a 5% margin of error. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, and a paired-samples t-test with IBM SPSS Statistics version 21. The results showed that the mean score for interest in becoming a teacher was 86.03 (SD = 8.63), while the mean score for interest in entrepreneurship was 89.16 (SD = 6.43). The difference test yielded t(61) = -2.258, p = 0.028, with a mean difference of -3.13. These findings indicate that both career options remain attractive, but the tendency toward entrepreneurship is statistically higher. The results suggest the need to strengthen balanced career development between educational and entrepreneurial competencies so that students can develop professional choices aligned with their interests and competencies.
