The First Year after College: Activities and Their Subsequent Effects.
Rindfuss, Ronald R.; And Others
Journal of Higher Education, v66 n4 p415-46 Jul-Aug 1995
Drawing on data from a national longitudinal study (n=12,841), research examined the relationship of activities after college, particularly among students who spent the first year after college neither working nor in school, to later life. Results indicate that neither working nor attending school during this year had neither strong nor consistent effects on later early adult years. (MSE)
