Post-Secondary Aspirations of High School Seniors from Different Social-Demographic Contexts.
O'Neill, G. Patrick

Postsecondary aspirations (educational and occupational) of high school seniors from five different residential settings (rural farm, rural nonfarm, village, small-town, and large city) in Durham, Ontario, are examined. Two variables account for most of the variance: parental expectations and peer group. (Author/MLW)
