          Abstract

          A qualificação profissional tem sido alardeada como um diferencial para a inserção no mercado de trabalho dos egressos de cursos de graduação. Com base em premissas típicas da teoria do capital humano, considera-se o investimento em educação estratégico para impulsionar a ascensão social dos indivíduos e potencializar o crescimento econômico da sociedade. Todavia, a análise do estudo de Bourdieu (1988) acerca da mobilidade social da sociedade francesa na década de 1970 leva ao questionamento dessa suposta relação causal entre formação e empregabilidade, na medida em que revela outros vetores que influenciam a ascensão social dos indivíduos. Segundo o autor, as classes econômica e culturalmente mais favorecidas oferecem mais acessos a posições de maior potencial no mercado de trabalho a seus descendentes do que as da base do estrato social. Esta investigação teve como objetivo testar a validade das proposições de Bourdieu, a partir de uma pesquisa feita com 98 formandos e egressos de um curso de administração de empresas de uma renomada IES do Rio de Janeiro. Como conclusão, foi possível identificar relações entre as origens desses egressos e sua inserção no mercado de trabalho, ligando a bagagem cultural e econômica de sua família, às empresas e aos postos aos quais ascenderam.

          Translated abstract

          Professional qualification has been considered one of the most important competitive advantages for those people that want to get on the labour market, after finishing an undergraduate course. Based on the typical assumptions of human capital theory, the investments in education are usually perceived as strategic to push up one's social position and also to support society's economic growth. However, Bourdieu's study about social mobility (BOURDIEU, 1980) in French Society in the 1970's brought some questioning about the direct relationship between the required skills in an undergraduate program with the capability to keep one's jobs. As mentioned by the author, the higher the economical and cultural status one social class has, the better opportunities will be made available in the labour market in the future. In other words, those at the bottom of the social pyramid have a tougher situation in finding better opportunities. This research's goal is to verify such a hypothesis, by means of a survey with 98 students that are concluding or have just concluded a business undergraduate program in a well known university in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As a result, it was possible to determine a relationship between the social and economical background of those interviewed and their professional career, putting together the cultural and economical background of their family as well as the jobs they had in the companies that hired them.
