“…This is consistent with past research that finds that those who work at moderate levels of intensity in high school are the most likely to acquire postsecondary education and that those who work at the highest levels of intensity in high school are the least likely to do so (Mortimer, 2003;Staff and Mortimer, 2007;Steel, 1991). The paid work experiences of those who went on to college paralleled their earlier work histories.…”

“…Indeed, this research alongside others shows that this pathway is most conducive to making a successful transition to college, completing a college degree (Staff and Mortimer, 2007), and sustaining employment in adulthood (Alon et al, 2001). My analysis, however, also suggests that employment during the transition to college is not only a developmental bridge that prepares youth for the future, but it is also undertaken out of economic necessity.…”

In this paper, I use a nationally representative sample of American high school seniors in 1992 to examine change and stability in the employment patterns of youth as they make the transition from high school to college. Students with weak attachments to the labor force in high school tend to remain unemployed during the first year of college. Conversely, students who work in moderation while in high school have the highest odds of enrolling in college and working while doing so. Compared with their nonworking peers, student workers enter college with lower grades and test scores but are equally engaged in school. Socioeconomic factors have little bearing on high school employment, but they are strongly related to postsecondary employment: students who work during the first year of college have fewer socioeconomic resources than nonworking students. The findings highlight the intersection of school and work in young adulthood and its importance when studying the transition from high school to college among contemporary American youth.

“…Algunos autores sos-tienen que los estudiantes que trabajan muestran menos asistencia a clase y menos arraigo a la universidad y, por lo tanto, tienen más riesgo de abandonar. Hallazgos empíricos muestran que la combinación de trabajo y estudios supone, pues, mayor difi cultad de terminar los estudios y acaba llevando a situaciones de abandono (Bozick, 2007;Staff & Mortimer, 2007).…”

Resumen: En el presente artículo se propone una tipología de estudiantes universitarios no tradicionales a partir de la identifi cación de las características más relevantes en nuestro contexto y se analiza su impacto en el abandono de los estudios teniendo en cuenta el rendimiento académico. A partir del análisis de una cohorte de nuevo acceso (n=6367) en la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, se realizan análisis mediante el test de chi-cuadrado de Pearson y los residuos tipifi cados corregidos. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes no tradicionales tienden a abandonar con más frecuencia que sus compañeros tradicionales aun teniendo un buen rendimiento.Palabras clave: estudiantes no tradicionales; abandono universitario; rendimiento académico; participación universitaria.DOI: 10.15581/004.32.27-48 1 Artículo basado en una comunicación presentada en el XI Congreso Español de Sociología en Julio de 2013, Madrid, con el título: Como ser un estudiante no tradicional y no morir en el intento.

“…It may especially for those from disadvantaged backgrounds be necessary to have a job to cover the costs of college education (Bozick, 2007). Overall, research indicates that working at a high intensity decreases college achievement and increases the likelihood of drop-out (Bozick, 2007;Kalenkoski & Pabilonia, 2010;Staff & Mortimer, 2007;Triventi, 2014). There are two explanations for this relationship.…”
