Work and School in the Transition to Adulthood: Implications for Objective and Subjective Career Outcomes Across Individuals from Diverse Backgrounds Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Human Ecology: Human Development and Family Science, The Ohio State University, 2020 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Career Patterns; College Education; Transition, Adulthood; Work Experience Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. College is a key piece of the career pathways taken by many young adults today. However, college education is not a homogenous experience and varies in meaningful ways including the occurrence and timing of entry, type, and degree receipt. Moreover, many youth bypass college altogether and instead directly transition into the job market. Yet education and work after high school have commonly been examined as separate domains, often measured as binary transitions. Moreover, research on career development during the transition to adulthood has tended to ignore the contribution of employment. My research centers on providing a more comprehensive approach in understanding young adults' early career development by modeling career transitions that encompass diverse postsecondary education and work experiences, which may occur both with and without each other. I use National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), a longitudinal nationally representative dataset to identify young adults' career pathways and further explore the contextual factors that shape them and their links to subjective and objective career outcomes. |

Labor Market Returns to College Enrollment and Degree Attainment: Heterogeneous Effects by Socioeconomic Status Presented: Austin TX, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Career Patterns; College Degree; College Enrollment; Job Satisfaction; Labor Market Outcomes; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Although college education is becoming increasingly more important for a stable employment in the U.S., many youth have limited resources to attend and persist through college. In light of these challenges and rising costs of college, understanding its potential labor market returns is critical. However, little is known about the implications of college attendance without degree attainment, especially for youth from low-SES backgrounds. To address this gap, we used the National Longitudinal Study of Youth-1997 and propensity score techniques to explore the associations between college enrollment, with and without degree attainment, and future objective and subjective career outcomes. Our results indicate youth who attended college but did not obtain a degree did report higher wages than youth who never enrolled. However, only youth who obtained a degree reported higher job satisfaction. We plan to examine whether these associations vary by socioeconomic background in future analyses. |
