Choosing a study and career path can be tricky for everyone. What am I good at, what do I enjoy, what are the opportunities in the labor market, etc. are reasonable questions to ask. If you have difficulties in the form of disabilities, this can cause you and others to doubt your abilities, which makes the choice no easier. The thesis deals with inhibiting and promoting factors in career choice. The inhibiting factors have so far in the thesis work proved to be e.g. poor accessibility, complicated rules and an environment that tries to limit the individual's room for maneuver. Many of the respondents have proved to be exposed to overprotection by the environment, which has constituted a strong inhibiting force in their lives and negatively affected their confidence in their abilities. These inhibiting factors together provide incentives for a vicious cycle that leads to a devalued self-image. This, in turn, reduces the room for maneuver in the choice of study and career. A strong facilitating force seems to be the goal of an independent and professional life, based on one's own conditions. Another important facilitating factor is an environment, such as family and friends, which affirms the individual and encourages them to dare to do more than they may think they can.
