The purpose of this study was to identify the work expectations of physical education teacher education candidates in their senior year of training at the Faculty of Physical Culture Sciences of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua, Mexico. In a descriptive research with a qualitative approach, the recreational curricular option was studied. With the participation of 14 students (eight women and six men) with average ages between 21 and 22 years, to whom it was conducted a semi-structured interview, a deductive procedure was carried out for data analysis. The results showed that most of the students contemplate being employed, however, there were students who reported self-employment and entrepreneurship as an option. Emerging job prospects were identified in the context that belong to the professional recreation profile. It was concluded that recreational dance, active sport tourism and recreational promoter in industries are job prospects of interest to students. Finally, the universities that train physical educators should consider modifying their study plans, favoring experiencies and skill development that allow students to enter the job market.
