Summary/Abstract: One of the possible causes of dropout is the attractiveness of the labour market. Nowadays, the date of employment does not coincide with the date when the diploma was acquired, sometimes the earnings of non-graduates were higher than those with a degree (Bocsi 2013; Kun 2013). Furthermore, it may lead to the interruption of university studies that students are negatively assessing the marketability of the profession they do, and in that case, the attractiveness of the labour market is even more stronger. In our qualitative research, the work carried out under university studies played a significant role in the interviewees’ lives and this had an impact on their dropouts. The results point out that work during studies or instead studying is an inevitable test point for dropout.
