Summary/Abstract: The article has two main objectives: (1) to investigate the level of life satisfaction and the hierarchy of motivation involved in the choice of profession and (2) to compare the current results with those obtained almost two decades ago. Did the generational changes, the economic and political changes in society, and the course of the pandemic period influence the students' perception of the two aspects in question? In the efforts to get to know the young generation of students, the levels of the sectoral indicators of life satisfaction are highlighted, as well as the reasons that led to the choice of the profession; The results obtained today are compared with those from a previous study, from 2006, highlighting the common aspects but also the differences between the two generations of students.
