Data description
Data were collected using a career interest scale compiled based on Holland's theory, which distinguishes individuals into six scopes or domains of interest, namely Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional [1] . Realistic domain consists of 7 items, Investigative domain comprises 7 items, there are 7 items in Artistic domain, 6 items in Social domain, 8 items for Enterprising domain, and 4 items in Conventional domain ( Tables 1-6 ).

Experimental design, materials, and methods
Data collected through non-experimental surveys, researchers collect all data from respondents through questionnaires given directly. The data is descriptive survey data designed to de-   termine the career interests of high school students in the city of Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. The use of this descriptive design without using an explicit theoretical model [2] , besides the descriptive survey design is more efficient and more effective in investigating the description of career interests that are most preferred by students.

Participant
The population in this survey is class XII high school students in the city of Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia in the academic year 2019. The sampling technique includes non-random sampling, the determination of the sample is based on the division of the area or region [3] , South Surabaya, Central Surabaya, and North Surabaya ( http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/wsh9c9xxg8.11 ). The researcher went directly to the high school which had been previously selected as a place of research. This research involved 6 high schools in the city of Surabaya. Researchers gave questionnaires directly to students. The data collection process of this research took place from December 2, 2019, to December 10, 2019. Participants were 981 students of class XII high school students in the city of Surabaya, 49.75% were male participants and 50.25% were female.

Measures and data analysis
The measurement uses a Career Interest Scale with 39 items divided into 6 scopes (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional). All items were scored on a 5-point scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) Likert types of scale [4] . The sum and average of the scoring of each individual in each interest scope or domain are then calculated. The career interests of each student are determined from the highest average score (see data http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/wsh9c9xxg8.11 ).
Career interests of students are determined by the highest average score in each category or area of career interest. The career fields that are in high demand by high school students are  the conventional fields which reach 42.30% ( Fig. 1 ). Whereas the less desirable or less interested sectors were investigative fields which were only 3.98% ( Fig. 1 ). When comparing career interests between men and women ( Table 7 and Fig. 2 ) it appears that there are differences in the fields of career interest between men and women. The scope of career interests favored by men is in the realistic, artistic and enterprising fields, while women prefer the social and conventional fields. In the field of investigative less interested by both men and women.
