Postgraduate Level and its Impact on Professional Careers, Occupational Mobility and Identity: A French-Argentine Comparative Study about PhD Graduates and PhD Students, in the Light of a Systemic Paradigm | Chapter 3 | Research Highlights in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 9

 The accepted objective is to know the arising “typologies” that show the convergences and divergences in the representations joint by the actors owned by different organizations and their articulation with stock exchange. Occupational mobility refers to changes in individual occupational rank. The initiative, that was a top priority on the agenda of the Secretary of University Policies, complicated PhD alumni and PhD students from various programs at Cuyo University (UNCuyo, Argentina) and Cnam (France) (Social and Human Sciences). In particular, the sample included PhD nominees who began their studies afterwards 2005 and PhD recipients the one received their degrees subsequently 2005. The model included socio-cultural, insane-social, administrative and structural factors. The latest determinants were related to the influence that the labor market take care of have on the professional courses as well as on the possibilities for individual development. The methods used was quantitative (mathematical analysis) but mainly concerning qualities not quantities (lexicometric analysis, interviews, hieralchical evocations). The methods allowed us to acquire information on the central issues concerning each PhD course  specifically (contextualized scenarios), the connection to the labor market (share representations) and the dissimilarities between what proper and what was achieved, i.e. betwixt the prescriptive world and the here and now of the actors. Additionally, a almost-structured survey was used. Macro-data processing machine-meso-macro (orderly) was the method. Comparing shared likenesses at various PhD courses was made attainable by the subjective analysis, which accepted into consideration various "knots" including academies, PhD degrees, the job retail, professional activities, etc. The fundamental environment makes it questioning for PhD holders to get trade and advance their careers ("top of a room" effect -- saturation of the scientific advertise by holders of PhDs). Although having a academic degree of highest rank is advantageous, neither actual occupational achievement nor pertaining to work mobility are immediately guaranteed.
