Introduction

Education has become an inseparable part of human life. This is because Education is one of the basic rights of every citizen. In Indonesia, this provision has been regulated in Article 31, Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The words of Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2 of Article 31 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia are as follows: (1) "Every citizen has the right to education". (2) The government implements a national teaching system regulated by law.

To implement the contents of the article above, Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System was promulgated. Law Number 20, the Year 2003, provides important definitions related to Education, one of which is the definition of 'Education' and 'National Education System'. According to Article 1 Paragraph 1 of Law Number 20 of 2003, Education is a conscious and planned effort to create a learning atmosphere and learning process. Students actively develop their potential to have spiritual strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, and noble character. Character and skills. Who needs themselves, society, nation and state.

Meanwhile, the definition of the National Education System is all components of Education that are interrelated in an integrated manner to achieve the goals of National Education. In the Indonesian Education System, the education pathway consists of formal Education, non-formal Education, and informal education, which can complement each other. So it can be said that guidance and counseling informal education is an inseparable part of the national education system.

The guidance itself can be interpreted as helping individuals achieve the self-understanding and self-direction needed to make maximum adjustments to school, family, and the environment (Putra, 2015). Guidance is the assistance given to male and female who has a good personality and adequate Education of any age to develop the activities they do, make their own choices, and the burdens they experience. Guidance is also an assistance process provided to individuals who need professionally handled assistance. (MAHDI, 2015).

The definition of counseling, according to Prayitno and Erman Amti quoted from their book entitled Basics of Counseling Guidance, is a process of assistance carried out through interviews by an expert (counselor) with individuals who are experiencing problems so that the problem can be resolved by the individual (Amfi, 2008). While the definition of counseling is a series of the most basic activities of business counseling guidance to help individuals face to face with the aim that individuals can take responsibility for the special problems they face (Winkel, 2005). In the world of Education, guidance and counseling have several special functions that can provide development for students. The following are the functions of guidance and counseling according to (Prayitno, 1997) consisting: (a) the function of understanding; (b) Prevention Function; (c) Alleviation Function; (d) Maintenance Function.

Implement the function of understanding, especially to produce an understanding of oneself that is useful for student development. It can be done in various ways, one of which is establishing a career plan. Career planning for a student can be said to be very important. A student must plan what career or job he wants to achieve in the future. Career planning must be adjusted to the talents, interests, and potential that they have because each individual has different abilities from other individuals.

Each individual has different abilities in planning his career because where the desired career path direction is not the same, it is necessary to plan to determine it. Planning and choosing a career that suits oneself is important because a person's career will determine various aspects of his life (Sukadji, 2000). Career planning is one of the important aspects of individual career development. The ability to make decisions is the main goal of career planning that must be taken by each individual (Puspita 2010). In general, many equate career planning with job selection. However, a career has a broad meaning, not just about job choices. A career is also related to a person's development in his life in the future to plan his career and become successful. Career planning ability is closely related to students' understanding of the career itself. The success of one's career achievement is influenced by the ability of career planning and mature decision-making. Someone who has career planning skills, of course, can understand himself. Thus, the individual can make the most appropriate choice according to his situation.

However, based on the author's observations, there are still many high school students (SMA) who still do not have good career planning skills. This is caused by various factors, one of which is the lack of skills in acting and making decisions. This is reinforced by the opinion (Walgito, 2010), which states that class XI students are still said to be teenagers, which is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood. In general, these students have not been able to be independent, so they still need help from others to get to independence, including the ability in career planning.

Teenager

The word teenager comes from the Latin word (adolescere), which means to grow, which means to grow into an adult. The meaning of the word adolesce has a broader term such as mental, emotional, social and physical maturity (Elizabeth, 2002). According to Piaget psychologically, adolescence is when individuals experience integration with adult society. Individuals no longer feel below the level of older people but are on the same level, at least in solving problems (Elizabeth, Psychology). Development of an approach throughout the life span, 2002).

According to legal experts in the United States, individuals are said to be adults when they have reached eighteen years of age, not twenty-one years as before. The extension of adolescence after the individual has not been given the rights and responsibilities of an adult has resulted in a gap between youth and adult responsibilities.
