      ab: Two possible attitudinal bases for social class differences in the occupational goals of male high school students are contrasted: (1) evaluation of the occupational structure and (2) perceived accessibility of desired occupations. Data are presented which provide firm evidence that perception of limited access to high prestige adult occupations accounts, at least in part, for the relatively modest occupational orientations of lower class students. The findings provide no grounds for either accepting or rejecting the differential evaluation hypothesis. Academic aptitude is considered as a factor mediating class differences in occupational achievement.
