Summary/Abstract: The article presents results from a survey conducted among students in different types of schools in Bulgaria. The text examines the dreams that the participants share, their desired places of work and their understandings of success. This is achieved through an analysis of the way questions (open for free expression of opinion) are answered in the questionnaire. A specificity of the ‘elite’ schools is presented, and the difference in terms of students’ plans for the future is articulated. These results are associated with a wider set of research on student aspirations that are grasped as capability or in their relation to the specific social setting of their construction.
