This study examines the academic and career goals set by urban youth as well as their perceived career barriers and the strategies they anticipate using to face these barriers. Nine adolescents in the 11th and 12th grades from two large, urban public schools in the Midwest were interviewed for this study. Students’ responses were analyzed using the consensual qualitative research method developed by Hill and colleagues. Seven domains were identified in participant responses, addressing participant ideas about both ideal and alternative career choices, the influences on their career choices, potential obstacles in their future, and methods for managing obstacles. Categories and subcategories are described and discussed and implications for practice and future research are offered.
