The present study aimed to explore the opportunities an‎d barriers to career development among male students in the second level of secondary education residing in marginalized areas of Isfahan during the academic year 2024–2025. This research employed a qualitative approach using thematic analysis based on Braun an‎d Clarkeʹs method. The study population consisted of all male students in grades 10 to 12 living in the marginalized regions of Isfahan. Participants were selec‎ted through purposive sampling, an‎d data were collected via semi-structured interviews with 12 students until theoretical saturation was achieved. The findings revealed six major themes related to career path development opportunities, including "career role-modeling an‎d self-leadership," "experiential learning an‎d social interaction," "social, institutional, an‎d familial support," "educational equity," "social awareness an‎d cultural promotion," an‎d "comprehensive interventions for career growth." Additionally, the barriers to career path development were identified in six thematic categories: "lack of career guidance," "inequality an‎d inefficiency of the educational system," "familial obstacles," "psychological doubts an‎d concerns about the future," "cultural an‎d social challenges," an‎d "financial constraints an‎d infrastructural deficiencies." These themes were categorized at three levels: individual, familial, an‎d social. The results of this study can be utilized by educational an‎d career counselors, policymakers, an‎d institutions involved in promoting educational equity an‎d career development among underprivileged youth.
