Abstract
The university of the XXI century in Ecuador has become a fundamental pillar for the development of nations since its inception, in these places a specialized training is granted for the incorporation of graduates to the world of work, being of great demand in Ecuadorian society, but with the problem of not receiving the attention deserved with access to other opportunities that require less academic preparation or by the lack of economic resources of the population. This responds to the demand in the labor market through which, and according to the degree to which the individual advances, will be of greater competition, passing from a mercantilist plane and unnoticed by the rest of the functions of the institution such as social involvement and the importance of research by teachers and students. Therefore, an exploratory study was carried out by surveys of students of the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Education Sciences of the University of Guayaquil to know their interests regarding why they study a career and the benefits they expect to obtain from it. Among the responses, the most representative was its strong link between its preparation and the demands of the work, followed by competent training that conforms to the minimum standards, in which there is little interest in research and is not supported by the economic aspect. Ecuador finds it difficult to compete with other countries if there is no minimum control over current professional expectations and needs.
