Carlota Guzmán Gómez
Number 22, Volume IX. JULIO-SEPTIEMBRE de 2004

Abstract

This article analyzes the meaning students attach to their employment. The study is limited to a group of young people enrolled in four degree programs offered by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM): oral surgery, economics, physics and history. The study is interpretative and uses tools from qualitative methodologies, primarily in-depth interviews. Three major areas of meaning are distinguished: working out of need, working as a learning and professional experience, and working for personal reasons.
