Abstract
Fuzzy reasoning is based on fuzzy sets theory, where membership of a set by an entity is incremental instead of either a member or not a member. Fuzzy logic provides the control interval of real numbers between zero (False) and one (True) to establish a logic as the base for inference rules. The fuzzed variant of the design philosophy case of this research rule of inference helps computers to make decisions using fuzzy reasoning instead of precision. This study adopts the use of Fuzzy Max – Min method, Minimization of regret method (FMMR) and ordered weighted averaging (OWA) in decision making problem under uncertainty.

1.0 Introduction
Clutter, (2010) discussed the crucial role of the parents, teachers and other relatives in the career choices and ambitions of their children. The study had a brief history of past career counseling methods, subsumed in it, which starts in the formative years by analyzing the student’s personality in order to assess proper occupational fit. It also examined the parental impact on career choices for teenagers, as well as bordering studies on the effects of socioeconomic status, gender and race. Alika, (2010)researched parents and peer group impact among secondary school students as correlates of career choice in the humanities(Kumar, 2016).According to Akyina, Oduro-Okyireh and Osei-Owusu, (2014) school counselors can strengthen the ethical conduct of students in selecting programs by stepping up therapy in schools so that students continue to make reasonable decisions about school programmes. Furthermore, Ogunlade and Akeredolu, (2012) suggested that professional career counselors be consulted to assist students in planning and selecting their careers, and professional career counselors should involve students in the selection process, taking into account the students’ interest, ability, skills and personality.
