SILVA, Mariléia Maria da. Work for college graduates in the new model of capitalist accumulation. Perspectiva [online]. 2004, vol.22, n.02, pp.405-424. ISSN 0102-5473.

This text discusses the meaning that work has for youths who have a bachelor’s degree at a time of intense precariousness in labor relations and high levels of unemployment. In this context, the work performed in college takes on other meanings in addition to that linked to economic need; it offers the possibility to take greater advantage of the “condition of youth” but also involves a strategy of anticipation of phases in order to guarantee a space in an extremely competitive labor market. Insecurity is a feeling shared by youths when they refer to their professional future.

Keywords : Labor Market; Effect of Education; College Level Professionals.
