This study aims to identify the social status of professions in the Omani society and to show the effect of gender, age, specialization, and residence status on their perception of common professions and jobs in Oman.

To achieve this, a questionnaire was designed and distributed on a stratified random sample of 718 students from Sultan Qaboos University.

Statistical analysis included frequency, percentage, T-test and ANOVA.

Some of the most important conclusions of this study were that there is a negative attitude of many Omani youth towards a number of crafts and professions.

Furthermore, the study shows the impact of gender on the high and medium status jobs, and the impact of age on high status jobs.

The study also shows that there is influence of specialization on medium status jobs.
