Previous research from across the globe was examined and related to this topic. In this study, examining social capital included family networks, professional and recreational networks and having entrepreneurial role models. When looking specifically at social capital, consistent with previous research conducted across the globe, all of the areas were found to be significant. Whereas, family capital (family size, father’s occupation, father’s income when related to career intention) were not found to be statistically relevant to the career choice.
