Abstract The present study equates, from the epistemology of knowledge and knowledge, the time / cost / benefit relationship of studying a university career or working in family enterprises where income is already generated and knowledge is cultivated that could be more profitable than professional Studies. A bachelor said: "It is better to work already, I will have money, experience, my own business and a lot of knowledge about the production of leather purses, while if I enter university I will have to spend five or six years of studies, I will go out with a title and I will start working from below, maybe I can not find work, what will I have gained? Maybe nothing. " All these aspects are investigated from a group of high school graduates (429 people), interviewed during the last months of 2017, who contribute with indicators of occupational decisions and higher education assumed in the midst of family debates, but also of inquiries and vocational orientations about what they think to be in the future and in the immediate. In the last decade the productive matrix of the country has not been changed, most of the bachelors opt for family occupational referents (39%); followed by the study of a trade, a technical career or a non-university profession (28%); The smallest group (11%) arrived to apply and enter a university career, knowing that only 4.4% of registered students would become new qualified professionals. All these contributions are inscribed in the research line of the sociology of education.
