Summary/Abstract: In an analysis of expectations related to graduate employment opportunities, the study examines, for the period before persons’ enter the labor market, student expectations related to such entry and successes instead of objective indicators of employment possibilities. The study analyses the individual background variables playing a determining role in study expectations via a multi-dimensional approach to labor market success, focusing on subjective elements. In addition to examining expectations in detail regarding the most important professional field background variable, the analysis – embedded within the framework of relevant technical literature – also focuses on expectation-related differences appearing between genders or social groups; it also looks at how previous professional work experience modifies people’s expectations. The analysis is based on data from a questionnaire survey obtained in relation to approximately 8000 people studying on undergraduate programs.
