This article analyzes aspects related to the choice of teaching Physics as a career by students of a Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of São Paulo. For the data collection, 4 questionnaires were applied to (1) outline the profile of the students; (2) understand the reasons and influences in the choice of the Licentiate degree in Physics; (3) analyze the main events in their school trajectory that contributed to this choice and (4) identify, in their perspective of the students, the training experiences that awakened / increased the desire for a teaching career in Physics. The outcomes reveal that proximity to the student's home and the lack of free degrees in the region, among other factors, are strongly related to the choice of their careers. Less than half of the students indicated that they chose the program due to identification with Physics and due to their desire to teach. Moreover, a little more than half of the students stated they received some type of influence in the choice of the course and intend to teach after graduating.
