RESUMO

The question driving this study exists in the context of career counseling and focuses on individuals who are presented conflicting career choices, as opposed to the conflicting choices themselves. Among those seeking career counseling, the group selected consists of teenagers who in their vast majority are looking to enter the workforce through an undergraduate course; and adults undergoing a career crisis who need to rebuild their career paths, as well as those at odds with the new direction their work context is headed. The logic of the work relationships has gone through changes in the last thirty years, such as the diminishment of formal work contracts, the increase in labor supply, the organizational culture changes due to mergers or acquisitions by other companies, among others. Thus, the question placed was how the most representative adults in a family would be affected in the groups selected for this study, the parents by the changes in the reality of the work relationships they experience and the conveyance of these experiences to the family. The objective of this work as an exploratory study was to seek supporting evidence to the hypothesis observed empirically of the existence of a correlation between the manner in which a working adult faces the challenges imposed by the work space and the career planning process of their teenage children about to begin their undergraduate studies. To this end, a number of constraints were set in order to limit the scope of the study. The familial group considered was the middle class household with its values, expectations, social participation and projected future. The families observed were composed of married parents with live-in children. Both parents were active professionals in their respective work fields and had at least undergraduate degrees. The children were high school students graduating from private schools and seeking an undergraduate degree. Four family triads were interviewed father, mother and teenage child choosing a career and their discourse analyzed in relation to the difficulties and coping strategies engineered by the parents against the expectations and projected future formulated by the children. A correlation was found in the speech of parents and children relative to the challenges and coping strategies lived by the parents and the career planning composed by the children. The career models constructed by the parents also had correlation to the professional future fantasies of the children. Therefore, it was concluded that in the scope of the social group studied there is an interrelationship between the professional experiences of the parents and the career planning of their children
