Case Study on Career Preparation Experiences of University Students from Low-Income Families

Lee Ji Hye; MAE HYANG HWANG

This study aims to understand and to infer the implications from the career preparation process of low-income university students in the context of high youth unemployment rate and the polarization of the social classes. We undertook two in-depth interviews with each 14 university students who were selected from S Scholarship Foundation, and collected written exercises and documents. According to the results, low-income university students perceive the third year of college as ‘Samangnyeon (the Korean word similarly pronounced with 3rd year and meaning a death year)’ and concentrate more efforts on career preparations. However, they are suffering from family situations and lacks of career resources. In this context, the participants struggle to improve their career readiness through ‘adjusting’ career aspirations to more attainable ones, ‘managing’ to utilize the minimum resources efficiently, and ‘expanding’ their networks. The career preparation processes of low-income university students suggests the necessity of multifaceted supports beyond economic supports.
