Abstract

An analysis of the talk of two young men at the end of their year 13 schooling reveals that despite similarities in background, the families and school experiences of each has enabled them to mobilise radically different forms of social capital through social networks. This provides them with radically different resources to envisage and realise their aspirations during the transition from school to work.
