The direct correlation is observed with "intelligence", “professional capacity”, "business acumen" on the one hand, and the level of academic achievement, on the other. Thus, higher the level of academic achievement of students is, the more they appreciate the relevance of presented indicators. We refer these indicators to the subjective and practical factors conditioning "life chances".

No connection has been observed concerning the level of academic performance and “luck” as a factor of successful life. As a result, the level of this alternative was equal to 36% among the students with the best and the worst academic results/performance. We interpret this situation as an indicator of hope to external circumstances, a lack of students′ confidence in their own chances, a partial reluctance to assume responsibility for their own life success/failure.

Working out the totals further research should be provided on the features of the “luck” factor and its relevance among contemporary Ukrainian students (due to the absence of the connection observed). This tendency can be interpreted in two ways: as a lack of students′ confidence in pursuing their own "life chances" and as a way to actualize the use of the "chance" concept in the context of contemporary Ukrainian realities.
