The expectation is to be inferred about what might happen in the future by going out of experience. Future expectations are cognitive maps that include the individual's thoughts, concerns and interests about the future (Şimşek,2012:92). Expectations gives important information about the experiences and achievements Individual expectations of future are influenced by the social environment in which the individual lives. Particularly in the younger ages, the social processes, the environment and the people in communication have an important share in this. In addition to this, factors such as age, gender and cultural structure affect the future expectations. The aim of this study is to examine the future expectations of Selcuk University Health Management students within the concept of anxiety.

Table 5. T Test Average Between Gender and Future Expectancy

Gender	N	Mean	p	T
Male	82	3,0729	,002	1,981
Female	158	2,9595

The p value of the T test between the averages of gender and future expectancy was found to be 0.005 (p <0.005). According to this result, the expectation of the male is higher than the females.

Discussion and Conclusion

According to the results of the research, the ratio of students who believe that they can find work immediately when they graduate is 17,1%.In parallel with these results, research conducted by Taşkent and Şahin (2004) found that university students were hopeless about finding a job. According to Kaya's research (2013); students think that they will find jobs immediately when they graduate, the business fields become even greater, there will be no unemployment problems in the future and they do not think they will be unemployed. According to the results of the research, the expectation of the men is more positive than that of the females. Contrary to this result, according to the life satisfaction survey of TUİK in 2017, the rate of women who are hopeful of their future was 74,7%, whereas this rate was 72,2% for men. The rate of individuals who expressed their hope for their future is 73.4%. Tuncer's (2011) research on higher education youth's future expectations revealed that the future expectations of female students were higher. In a study conducted by Kula and Saraç (2016), it was concluded that gender influenced the future anxiety of students and that female students were more worried than male students. As a result, students who participate in the research believe that they will get what they want in the future, be happy and achieve their goals. The future expectation of the students is positive according to these results.
