Get an Apprenticeship before School Is Out: How German Adolescents Adjust Vocational Aspirations When Getting Close to a Developmental Deadline.
Heckhausen, Jutta; Tomasik, Martin J.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v60 n2 p199-219 Apr 2002
A study of 335 German 10th graders who applied for apprenticeships showed that they adjusted their aspirations from "dream job" to "a job I am interested in" as deadlines approached. They matched their school performance to the prestige of the apprenticeships they applied for. (Contains 47 references.) (SK)
