The effects of college quality and size on student occupational choice. [TR 36]
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
The author analyzed questionnaire responses from 946 students in 99 colleges to ascertain the effects in the title. College effects were much smaller than individual background factors and freshman occupational choices. Larger colleges tended to shift occupational choices away from high status professional occupations, while small colleges had the opposite effect.
