This study examined the perceived career decision-making difficulties among Greek student teachers via the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire (CDDQ). The Greek version of CDDQ was firstly analyzed with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. In a sample of student teachers majoring in humanities and social sciences (N = 780), the initially proposed structure of CDDQ was partially confirmed with seven of the ten anticipated factors present. These factors were used as independent variables in multivariate models predicting participants' overall difficulty during the career decision-making process, the degree of certainty for their choices, and their decision status. Discussion of the findings is provided.
