Description
This book explores how students in China's higher education system develop their career prospects over four years. It examines the role of curricular and extracurricular activities, peer interactions, faculty relationships, and family background in shaping students' understanding of careers.
The authors draw on survey data, student self-reflections, and semi-structured interviews to investigate how these factors impact students' ability to navigate their career paths. The book also considers the potential for colleges to exacerbate social inequality among students from different backgrounds.
