The present investigation turned toward the generation 2009-2014, from the psychology career of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas. The main objective of this study was to determine whether there is a significant correlation between vocational definition, the academic performance, and the school career in the students at the end of the career, in addition to identifying if these same variables are predictors of a successful academic trajectory. The approach was of the quantitative type and correlational-transactional,106 cases were analyzed. The instrument that was used was the questionnaire “Vocational Inventory of Polygonal Preferences”. For the analysis, the statistical package SPSS was used through the Chi-2 statistic test. After the results, it was found that there is no significant correlation between the vocational definition, the school trajectory and the academic performance of the university students. It is concluded in this study that the vocational definition is not strictly a predictor in the school career, nor the academic performance.
