Abstract: The study was carried out to find out the careers aspired for by B. Ed. (Early Grade) students. Employing descriptive survey design, 397 Early Grade students were purposively sampled for the study. A self-made questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-test. The study revealed that most students had moderate 259 (65.2%) knowledge of careers in Early Grade. Most of them 165 (41.6%) aspired to teach in preschools after completing the programme. Significant difference was found between the career aspirations of West Africa Senior Secondary Certificate Examination and Diploma in Education certificate holders pursuing the programme but no difference was found in terms of gender. An implication drawn was that most of the students should be employed to teach in preschools on completion of the programme since that is their aspired career.
