Resumen: Nowadays, a good teacher is crucial for the education of the young generation and all the society. But what drives people to pursue a teaching career in Albania, despite changes in the law that have occurred during these years? In this article, we try to discover the motives driving students to pursue a teaching career. Part of this study was 201 students, following a teacher study program in public and non-public higher education institutions in Albania. For the first time in Albania, we applied the Fit Choice Scale instrument (Wat & Richardson, 2007). Results show us that the FIT Choice Scale is well adapted to Albanian contexts and the most dominant motives to pursue a teaching career in Albania are linked with factors such as the subjective perception to perform well as a teacher and to influence the upcoming generation through teaching. But also, in the Albanian context, the profession of a teacher is seen as hard work, with a heavy workload, that requires emotionally demanding. Also, this study shows us gender, and birthplace differences according to motives that drive students to pursue a teaching career in Albania.
