- Abstract
The meanings attributed by young people to high school and work have been studied separately by the sociology of education. The article shows a way of analyzing the way in which these meanings are articulated. The research on the significant activity of the students was based on comprehensive sociology and social phenomenology, using the category of "cultural models" -appropriate of cognitive anthropology-as an analytical tool. From a qualitative perspective, the research is based on semi-structured interviews and questionnaires with open questions, to young men and women between 15 and 19 years old, high school students, based in localities of a rural-urban transition in the León-Silao Metropolitan Area, Guanajuato, in central Mexico. As a result, the analysis of two cultural models is exposed, one on work and the other on baccalaureate studies, which organize various meanings in a plot that can be circular: study to achieve a professional job and work to pay the costs of doing a university degree; models that are nuanced by the gender condition of young people.
