Summary/Abstract: This study synthesizes the results of an empiric research, whose aim was to identify the axiological options of teenagers (high school pupils in their senior year, close to graduation), within the socio-educational and cultural context of the postmodernist period that we are currently passing through. The instruments used (the assessment test of moral values, the assessment test of material values, the confidence questionnaire), in accordance with the proposed goal and the formulated hypotheses have aimed at establishing some correlations between the moral-axiological profile of teenagers and the educational factors (in particular the non-formal and informal factors), which constitute the framework, the reference system between the material expectations and their option for their future profession. The results obtained following the carrying out of the research, have outlined an axiological profile of the characteristics of the postmodern juvenile, have emphasized the existence of an own culture of teenagers, have pointed out the downfall of the role that educational environments used to have in the modern period in the axiological and professional orientation of teenagers, and they have allowed the establishment of connections between the axiological and professional options of the subjects.
