Abstract

A tanulmány az érettségi előtt álló középiskolások körében végzett felmérésre támaszkodva azt a kérdést vizsgálja, hogy milyenek az ismereteik az iskolázottság szerinti kereseti különbségekről továbbtanulási döntésük meghozatalakor az érettségizőknek, milyen kereseti várakozásokat fogalmaznak meg középiskolai és felsőfokú végzettség esetére, illetve milyen más munkaerő-piaci előnyöket várnak a felsőfokú tanulmányoktól, s ezek a várakozások mennyiben befolyásolják azt, hogy jelentkeznek-e felsőfokú tanulmányokra. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy az érettségizőknek meglepően pontosak az ismereteik mind az iskolázottság szerinti kereseti különbségek, mind az egyes diplomás foglalkozások kereseteit tekintve. Saját jövőbeli várható kereseteiket az átlagosnak tartott kereseteknél magasabbra - bármely tudományterületre jelentkezzenek is -, a jelenlegi kereseti megoszlás felső negyedébe várják. Az érettségizők kereseti várakozásai alapján kiszámítható életkereseti többlet hatással van annak valószínűségére, hogy a gimnázium befejeztével azonnal jelentkezik-e valaki felsőfokú tanulmányokra, és milyen szintű képzésre jelentkezik, vagyis a középiskolások - legalább részben - haszonmaximálóként viselkednek pályaválasztási döntésük meghozatalakor.
