Title: | Academic promises and family (dis) enchantments: clues for guidance and counselling in higher education | Authors: | Diana da Silva Dias | Keywords: | higher education; social mobility; family influence; counselling; career choice; guidance | Issue Date: | Jan-2016 | Publisher: | ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD | Source: | Dias, D., & Sá, M.

British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 44(1), 42-56. | Journal: | BRITISH JOURNAL OF GUIDANCE & COUNSELLING | Abstract: | Family has an undeniable influence upon the career construction of higher education (HE) students, since it is a primary source of their socialisation. This article presents a qualitative analysis of 30 interviews conducted with first-year students, aimed at understanding the relationship between family sociocultural status and career choice and the perceived meaning in the family of the enrolment of one of their elements in HE. Results show that HE students came mainly from economic, cultural and social upper classes. It was a logic path', for who would inherit in the adult age, not only the economic capital, but also the relational capital. The educational and economic resources of the students' families are key factors in the choice to pursue HE studies, rather than the professional world. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12275/183 | DOI: | 10.1080/03069885.2015.1007442 |
