With the popularization of higher education, more and more students choose to enter high school and prepare for the ideal university. The career planning of middle school students not only affects the curriculum choice of high school but also provides a direction for the professional choice of university and even affects the future employment of students. The current researchers have some research on the career planning of middle school students, but have not found a better way to help students find their own good and suitable development direction. Therefore, this article intends to improve this situation from the source by finding the factors that affect career planning. Finally, the article provides a summary of middle school students' global career planning, outlines the factors that have a greater impact on their careers, explains how to mitigate the negative effects, and offers some advice for middle school students' career planning.
