PINERO RAMIREZ, Silvia Leticia. Jóvenes universitarios: desigualdades socioculturales y diversidad de representaciones en torno a la profesión. LiminaR [online]. 2012, vol.10, n.1, pp.33-45. ISSN 2007-8900.

We present a case study of social representations on their profession, have incoming young people to careers in nursing and Surgeon of the Universidad Veracruzana (UV). My hypothesis is that the social origin of students contributes to shaping the professional expectations and anticipations and therefore your choice of career. The aim is to establish whether the set of information, beliefs, opinions and attitudes of young people who chose to race, are associated with the volumes and types of cultural capital. In this case, the choice of career be explained from a socio-cultural dimension, linked to opportunity structures. Youth is characterized by volume of cultural capital and establish statistical associations between it and built a typology of social representations. The results allow to distinguish types of representations between the university, which are being confronted with their cultural capital and their chosen career.
