The data collected from the interviews were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. The result of finding showed that 68.5% of the sampled population had interests in a profession that involved dealing with children while 27.6% had interest in becoming career teacher, but 78.3% of sampled population preferred teaching as a career to any other profession if teachers’ remuneration were highly increased. There was no relationship between gender and response to profession that involves dealing with children but there was significant relationship between students’ interest in teaching profession and increase in teachers’ remuneration. The study concluded that the students have weak feeling of interest to be career teacher, owing to poor affinity of their parents and teachers to teaching profession, poor work environment and inducement in teaching profession.
