Abstract: The study explored the relationship between career choice and students' personality traits among university students. The study employed quantitative research approach and correlational research design to test the hypotheses. Questionnaire was used to gather data from the respondents. Three hundred and fifty-four (354) students were selected through multi-stage sampling approach. The study was limited to final year students in three universities. The data were analysed using Pearson correlation coefficient and independent sample t-test. It was found that there is statistically significant relationship between career choice and personality trait. It was further observed that career choice of females and males do not differ. It was recommended that the institutions formulate a policy to ensure that counselors continue to educate students on the essence of career choice and personality traits. Again, it was recommended that workshops and seminars be organized to encourage the University students to venture into careers of their choice.
