In this paper, we will investigate the early employment experiences of young people and their correlation with medium term outcomes in the areas of education, employment, and social behavior. Ultimately, our goal is to determine which of the two perspectives has the greatest support. In this preliminary draft, we attempt to discover the relationships between early employment and these outcomes, while remaining agnostic about the causal relationships. We start with a review of the literature on early employment and its impacts. In Section II we talk briefly about the NLSY97 and the way in which early employment experiences are collected. We also look at what determines early employment and how employment progresses over time. Section III provides estimates of models of the relationship between early employment and medium-term outcomes. Section IV concludes.
