Rojewski, Jay W.
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v15 n3 p141-56 Win 1999
Data from the National Education Longitudinal Study, 1988-94, were used to examine career-related characteristics of rural and nonrural secondary students. The best predictors of transition status were occupational aspiration for college-bound youth, socioeconomic status (SES) for rural work-bound students, and SES and vocational education for nonrural adolescents. (Contains 57 references.) (TD)
