CHANGES IN WOMEN'S WORK ASPIRATIONS DURING COLLEGE1 (OR WORK DOES NOT EQUAL CAREER)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Students in the women's college of a coeducational professionally-oriented university were studied longitudinally to assess types and amount of change in career aspirations over the four years. Trends evident from the results were: (1) planning for graduate school increased each year; (2) occupational choices became more definite, but by senior year 36 per cent still felt undecided; (3) occupations chosen were predominantly in professional fields, for all four years; (4) occupations typically held by women were chosen most often; (5) the view of work as integral to adult life (or career salience) was not predominant but some conversion to career salience occurred among juniors and seniors; (6) motivation to work was strongset for conditions involving familial convenience or need, thus, few would work with young children at home, while with school age children work motivation rises steadily over the four years. Much shifting in the career aspirations variables occurred, but greater career orientations emerged only for some. For most of the study class a flexible pragmatic approach prevailed, i.e., to incorporate work at some stages in adult life, but a potent career orientation held only for a few.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
