Although there have been many studies on college entrance and aspirations, little attention has been paid to post-high school adults (who enter the workworld rather than college). it is possible that post-high school adults still have college aspirations, and it would be valuable to identify the factors that foster such aspirations. This study examined how employment (e.g., job satisfaction), applied academic (e.g., math and literacy skills), and extracurricular (e.g., sports, books, volunteerism) factors contributed to aspirations. The results indicated that all three types of factors affected aspirations in unique ways. The results are interpreted in the context of prior research and implications for college recruitment and outreach are offered. (Contains 2 tables.)
