In the fall of 1975, the job preferences of Black, Mexican American, and Anglo male college students were studied via a self-administered questionnaire distributed in all freshman orientation, social sciences, and English classes at St. Philip's College in San Antonio, Texas. The sample comprised 51% of the freshman class. Information was obtained on each respondent's sex, race-ethnicity, age, marital status, religious preference, strength of religious preference, family income, educational and occupational expectations, and father's education and occupation. The questionnaire included a series of broad opinion-seeking questions (i.e., "Would you continue to work if you were rich?" and "Is luck or hard work more important in becoming successful?") to get the student thinking in a context that would transcend any current full- or part-time jobs he might hold. The questionnaire also included the question, "Which of the following things would you most prefer in a job?--high income; no danger of being fired; working hours short, lots of free time; chances for promotion; work important and gives a feeling of accomplishment." Findings included: Mexican Americans preferred chances for promotion; Blacks were the most interested in high income; 40.2% of the Mexican Americans, 38.7% of the Anglos, and only 29.2% of the Blacks were concerned about the importance and meaningfulness of work; and there were only meager differences between the groups in their preferences for a job which offered no danger of being fired and short working hours.
