Using a descriptive method, the findings indicate that respondents exhibit consistent behavior toward human capital investment, reflecting a strong awareness of the importance of human capital development in achieving career success. The results underscore the critical role that Human Capital Theory plays in shaping students' investment decisions, highlighting the value they place on educational and skill development.
