Abstract

We analyzed the path of 46 university graduates of the degree in Educational Sciences from a public university in Mexico towards the world of labor based on two concepts: work transitions and configurations. We propose 13 labor indicators based on which we configure four types of labor transitions that allow us to discuss three assumptions: linearity of the transition from university to work; better working conditions that would correspond to this educational level and the adequacy between training and occupation. The results show linear transitions to work, but in most of the cases we observe a tendency towards non-linear transitions, characterized by their diversity and precariousness.
