The Educational and Occupational Aspirations and Expectations of Black Urban High School Youth

Abstract

dc:description

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the educational and occupational aspirations and expectations of black inner city students enrolled in a vocational high school. Analyses were made for differences by class, sex, GPA, SES level, and helpfulness of the school in reaching the students' goals. This investigation attempted to determine if there were relationships among the students' aspirations and expectations, the reality of these reported choices, and the role of the vocational school in facilitating these choices.
