“…Nonetheless, limited data exist that consider VU from a career development perspective among adolescents and young adults (e.g., Bryant, Zvonkovic, & Reynolds, 2006;Cinamon, 2001). Scholars (e.g.. Barling & Mendelson, 1999;Cinamon, 2001;Thompson & Subich, 2013) have argued that factors related to social class and social status, such as job loss, may be particularly relevant during adolescence. Although not yet explicitly examined within the context of VU, other literature (e.g.. Corrigan, 2003;Paulsen & St. John, 2002) has demonstrated that undergraduate students from lower income families face considerable financial challenges related to enrollment and persistence in college; these students are more likely to work full-or part time, take on more student loan debt, and be less engaged in the campus community.…”
