Work and School in the Transition to Adulthood: Implications for Objective and Subjective Career Outcomes Across Individuals from Diverse Backgrounds Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Human Ecology: Human Development and Family Science, The Ohio State University, 2020 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Career Patterns; College Education; Transition, Adulthood; Work Experience Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. College is a key piece of the career pathways taken by many young adults today. However, college education is not a homogenous experience and varies in meaningful ways including the occurrence and timing of entry, type, and degree receipt. Moreover, many youth bypass college altogether and instead directly transition into the job market. Yet education and work after high school have commonly been examined as separate domains, often measured as binary transitions. Moreover, research on career development during the transition to adulthood has tended to ignore the contribution of employment. My research centers on providing a more comprehensive approach in understanding young adults' early career development by modeling career transitions that encompass diverse postsecondary education and work experiences, which may occur both with and without each other. I use National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), a longitudinal nationally representative dataset to identify young adults' career pathways and further explore the contextual factors that shape them and their links to subjective and objective career outcomes. |
