In this study, we researched the effect of TV series on the perceptions of 8th-grade students’ job identification. The aim of the study is to analyze and evaluate the relationship between their decisions about the choice of profession and their habits of watching TV in the process of 8th-grade students’ professional development. In the research, individual interview technique has been used in the process of data collection. The students from three secondary schools as part of Erzincan (Turkey) Provincial Directorate for National Education constitute the sample of the research. The existence of the students from low, middle and upper socioeconomic classes has been determined as a criterion for choosing the schools taking part in the research. The total number of students taking part in the research is 52. 44% (n=23) of the participants are female students and 56% (n=27) of them are male ones. By taking the findings coming up after the analysis of the data obtained during the research into account, it can be said that television has an effect on the perceptions of 8th grade students’ job identification and choice.
