Abstract	This analysis compares 15-year-old students who reported career expectations in finance in 13 education systems that participated in the financial literacy assessment of the 2015 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). In particular, it explores (a) selected demographic characteristics of students who expected to have a career in finance and (b) the association between students' finance career expectations and their financial literacy performance. The results show that, across the participating education systems, 3 percent of 15-year-old students expected to work in finance as adults and 13 percent had at least one parent who worked in finance. The results also identify differences in some education systems in the percentage of students who expected to work in finance by gender or socioeconomic status. In addition, the findings suggest that students' career expectations are not a strong predictor of their financial literacy when accounting for these background characteristics, including students' socioeconomic status.
