Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to analyze the career expectation differences between social sciences and physical education students. The participants were 306 students aged between 18 and 32 years, MAge = 20.32, SD = 2.39, 178 enrolled in the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports and 128 students enrolled in the Faculty of Social Sciences (42%). Career discrepancy was measured with Career Discrepancy Scale (Creed & Hood, 2015), translated for the purpose of this study to assess the four dimensions of career discrepancy: achievement discrepancy, effort discrepancy, standards discrepancy, and ability discrepancy. The results show that there are significant differences for all the four domains of career discrepancy, with sports students reporting lower scores. In the conclusions, the practical implications of the obtained results are discussed.
