The aspects of tourism employment and careers have been broadly documented. Although the tourism industry's improvement can generate new job opportunities, it is often scrutinized for providing essentially low-skilled and low-paying jobs. If today's students are to become influential practitioners of tomorrow, it is fundamental to realize their employment attitudes. This paper concentrates on an example of 48 Uzbek students studying tourism at the university level to analyze their careers perceptions. The outcomes pointed out that, overall, the respondents’ perceptions are positive. The verdicts also symbolized that: eagerness to study tourism, willingness to work in tourism after graduation, and professional experience; are required factors forming their vision of tourism careers.
