Abstract	The California Community College System is an entry point for the majority of first-generation college students. This case study of a community college in Southern California examined the experiences and motivations of both Latinx students in their major/career decision-making process and the community college counseling faculty who serve, educate and guide them on a daily basis. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 10 first-generation Latinx students, as well as 10 counseling faculty at the same community college. Three themes emerged from this study: (1) perceptions of the career decision-making process, (2) tenacity despite institutional challenges, and (3) first-generation faculty serving first-generation students. Students shared a variety of motivations in their decision-making, and the findings indicate that both students and the counseling faculty agree that counseling career exploration courses are impactful and should be required for all new students. However, several institutional barriers prevent this from being a reality. Recommendations include suggestions for funding, hiring, the creation of internship programs, and that college campuses establish first-generation ally training for faculty.
