Title

Differences Between Black/African American And White College Students Regarding Influences On High School Completion, College Attendance, And Career Choice

Abstract

Compared with White persons, Black/African American persons in the United States continue to experience high rates of educational deficits and employment stagnation as well as lower college graduation rates. This study examined the influences on Black/African American and White college students' high school completion, college attendance, and career choice. Results indicate that future income and future status have a greater influence on the career choice of Black/African American college students than on the career choice of White college students. The authors discuss these findings and present implications for career development professionals. © 2007 by the National Career Development Association. All rights reserved.
