This study explores whether black and white male and female youth differ in their education goal and planned occupation. A simultaneous equations model is fitted using two stage least squares, in which education goal and planned occupation (measured by occupational prestige) at age 30 for males and 35 for females are the endogenous variables. Youth evidently are better able to plan their educational goal than their occupation goal. Evidence of supply side discrimination exists in that race affects desired occupation, while sex, race, and sex and race interacted affect desired education.
