College Effects on Occupational Status Attainment.
Smart, John C.
Research in Higher Education, v24 n1 p73-95 1986
A study of social origin and educational measures in occupational status attainment of former college students found that status attainment in professional careers is related more to cognitive attributes of the college attended and educational performance. Nonprofessional career status is related more to affective attributes of the college experience. (Author/MSE)
