The article analyzes the trajectories of four graduates of a public institution: the Center for Youth and Adult Education in Asa Sul (CESAS), in Brasília-DF, in a distance-learning course (EaD). It apprehends the social origin of the graduates, the cultural capital, the difficulties, limits and option for EaD. How did the cultural capital and the impositions of the living conditions of EJA/ EaD graduates boost their return to studies? The answer to this question, in a descriptive and exploratory approach, in connection with interviews data, dialogues with Bourdieu and Lahire, concluding: the EJA alumni, except for one, have family origins with homologous social position and low institutionalized cultural capital; structural impositions provoke the prioritization of work and not of the institutionalized cultural capital and, in another moment of the trajectory, work influences the return to studies. This return, through EJA / EaD, gives the subjects a sense of appreciation, mainly by making it possible to reconcile work and study, with this choice having a practical meaning.

Keywords : Education of young people and adults; Distance learning; Schooling; Cultural capital.
