Aspiration-Job Match: Age Trends in a Large, Nationally Representative Sample of Young White Men Journal of Counseling Psychology 26 (1979): 319-328. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022016707626935 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Education, Guidance and Counseling; Holland's Typology; Job Aspirations; Vocational Guidance; Vocational Training Age trends in the match between vocational aspirations and actual jobs were studied, in a nationally representative sample of 3,730 white men 16-28 years old who were interviewed yearly over a 5-year period. As the men aged, higher agreement between jobs and aspirations (classified according to Holland's typology) occurred. In addition, the distributions of both aspirations and actual jobs differed with age. Larger proportions of the older men were engaged in enterprising work, and the distribution of aspirations, which at age 16 diverged markedly from the distribution of jobs, resembled that distribution more closely by age 28. Implications for changing strategies of vocational counseling and research are discussed. |

Logistic regression analysis of the data, which were derived from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth--1997 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2002) indicated that student dropout rates were affected differently by students' membership in the 3 at-risk categories [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of Journal of Counseling & Development is the property of American Counseling Association and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
