Abstract
Family is an important environment for the growth and development of teenagers. Middle school students' exploration of their own life is influenced by many factors, a large part of which comes from the family. Parental expectation is a core factor that teenagers can get intuitive feelings in the family environment. Moreover, parental career expectation may affect their student's self-career expectations to a greater extent. This paper uses the data of CEPS (China Education Panel Survey) to conduct cross-variable analysis. The result showed that parents' career expectations have a significant impact on middle school students' self-career expectations, which is consistent with previous studies on the impact of parents' expectations on their student. The result suggests that parents of middle school students should know more about career exploration and pay more attention to education and guidance for their student's career exploration so as to help their student complete their own career exploration in a more scientific and reasonable way.
