摘要：Taking into account the increasing demand of superior education and the new
meanings of work, job and informality in the present economy, this paper presents the main
theoretical and empirical evidences on how the undergrad students in the beginning of their
superior education perceive the economic scenery and the labor market. Besides discussing the
main theoretical factors in the admission process of the superior education, and starting from a
presupposition of the psychological economy and its relationship with the labor market, this
study shows the results obtained by means of a broader field research, including 2269 freshmen
of the superior education in Rio Grande do Sul state. It also identifies that the perception of the
investigated university students is closely associated to the traditional options and forms of the
market, focused on the formal and salaried work.
