        This article presents a qualitative analysis of open-ended survey responses examining how university students in Croatia perceive the notion of a "good life" under conditions of precarity. It explores how young people relate to a precarious culture in which economic, temporal, and social insecurities are reflected. The focus is on responses that reveal which aspects of this culture students internalize, which they resist, and how. The paper also examines how they plan their professional futures, the obstacles they identify along the way, and the strategies they employ to overcome them.
        Rad se temelji na kvalitativnoj analizi otvorenih odgovora iz ankete kojom se ispituje kako studenti u Hrvatskoj percipiraju pojam "dobrog života" u uvjetima prekarnosti. U radu se istražuje odnos mladih i prekarne kulture, u kojoj se odražavaju ekonomske, vremenske i društvene nesigurnosti. Fokus je na odgovorima koji otkrivaju koje aspekte te kulture studenti internaliziraju, a kojima se opiru i na koje načine. Rad također analizira kako planiraju svoju profesionalnu budućnost, koje prepreke pritom prepoznaju te koje strategije koriste kako bi ih prevladali.
