Orrange (sociology, Eastern Michigan U.) describes the plans and aspirations of law and MBA students and their ideas about work, family, and leisure amidst uncertainty. He uses interviews he conducted with 43 students at a major research university in the US during the 1990s to consider how their future projections are shaped by social and cultural patterns and how gender affects their views. Following the introduction, he lays out ongoing social transformations--new individualism, the gender revolution, the rise of dual-career couples and different family forms, and the end of long-term employment security and gendered career expectations. He then discusses students' career, marriage, and family expectations; future leisure activities; and methods of finding meaning. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
