Abstract | This qualitative study explored the external and internal reasons involved in students' decisions to return to college after an extended absence. Specifically, it sought to explore the role of students' concepts of who they might be (or want to avoid becoming) in the college and career domains of their lives, their possible selves. Analysis of participant interviews revealed two educational paths that were partially shaped by students' college possible selves as they initially entered college. The different educational paths and influence of possible selves and other important factors came to light as students discussed critical decision-making points along their journeys. (As Provided). |
