Thesis (M.A.)--Tufts University, 2014.

The pursuit of a college education is the societal expectation for most American students; however, this pursuit is not always the logical next step for youth with constrained financial means. The purpose of this study was to explore how the experiences of young men from low-income backgrounds influenced their paths toward attending a post-secondary institution that specializes in trade education. This study uses qualitative data obtained from seven first-year students at a competitive, post-secondary trade school in order to understand their pathways to the trades. Data were deductively and inductively coded using a modified thematic analysis approach in order to better understand these young men's paths towards this particular institution and their motivations for pursuing a career in the trades. Implications that are discussed involve policy and education research with young men from low-SES backgrounds, and how educators may bolster alternative educational options in order to maintain the engagement of these youth in their education while teaching desirable vocational skills.
