Abstract

In this study, researchers will discuss the influence of the family, the environment, and the career cycle of
educators that will shape their professional career model. The method in this study is a qualitative
description by interviewing the suitable sources in-depth with educators who have career experience in
schools. The study results indicate that gender and cultural differences in Bugis still dominate in the career
choices of educators. Gender differences in career options also appear in Islamic Senior High School
Athirah Kajaolaliddo. The individual's motivation more influences male educators (Bugis Ethnic) because
they are amazed by the teacher's figure from the beginning. Our findings illustrate that they still have an
orientation to income and prestige. However, contrary to others, male educators in elementary schools
are not oriented to power, money, or prestige in their careers. In addition, it also contrasts with the context
of employee career choices in hospitals that are influenced by placement factors and the results of
discussions with trainers. Also, our findings are significant because the study of career model optimization
of educators is an essential contributor to understanding the emergence of three categories of
educators. Thus, these findings provide an excuse for further research on other career factors. Preservice
teachers who are more career-minded and optimistic are more likely to cope with the transition to the
profession and early years of practice.
