Elección de la carrera diferencias de género toma de decisiones. As part of a study on the expectations of benefit of higher education applicants, this article approaches the choice of a degree program according to the academic interest from the perspective of the rational analysis. Applicants who took the admissions test in two institutions were surveyed in order to carry out later statistical analysis with the purpose of finding a multivariate model. The obtained results showed that gender, work, and age were related to the applicants’ interest on certain academic degree program. The interest for a degree program tends to be unimportant in employed women’s choices, aged 20 years or older. Among applicants whose father considered higher education very important, the probability to consider one’s interest on the choice of a bachelor’s degree was higher for male applicants. The above information confirms the variation in rational calculations regarding social characteristics. Como parte de un estudio sobre expectativas de beneficio entre aspirantes a ingresar a educación superior, en este artículo se aborda la elección de carrera en relación con el gusto académico, desde la perspectiva del análisis racional.  Se encuestó a quienes presentaron examen de admisión en dos instituciones, para posteriormente efectuar análisis estadísticos con el fin de encontrar un modelo multivariado. Se encontró que las variables género, trabajo y edad se relacionan con el agrado del aspirante por la carrera seleccionada. El gusto por la carrera tiende a ser un elemento poco importante en las decisiones de mujeres empleadas, mayores de 20 años de edad.  Entre los aspirantes cuyo padre apreciaba como muy importante la educación superior, fue mayor la probabilidad de que los varones consideraran el gusto por la carrera en su elección de licenciatura.  Lo anterior confirma la variación de los cálculos racionales respecto de las características sociales.
