Abstract
This study explores how parenting styles and the fear of missing out (FoMO) influence the career aspirations of private university students in Metro Manila. Using a qualitative–descriptive design, semi‑structured interviews were conducted with fifteen (15) students aged eighteen to twenty-four (18–24). Findings reveal that students raised in supportive and structured (authoritative) environments exhibited greater emotional resilience and confidence in career decision-making. In contrast, those with authoritarian or neglectful parents reported heightened FoMO, often linked to limited autonomy and increased sensitivity to peers’ achievements. FoMO, emerging in both social and academic contexts, was associated with anxiety and indecision about future careers. Results suggest that FoMO mediates the relationship between parenting styles and career development, intensifying hesitation in controlling or neglectful settings and weakening when autonomy and support are balanced. The study underscores the role of family dynamics and peer-driven comparison in shaping students' professional paths and highlights the need for interventions that foster internal motivation and reduce FoMO.
