Tycker dagens naturbrukselev att djurskötaryrket har hög status?
In this degree project I have tried to analyse thoughts about what?s important in the
future work among students that are leaving the Land and animal husbandry programme.
I have also asked employer to understand to what degree they knew about the coming
employees thoughts about the future.
The method was a questionnaire which was sent to 14 schools of Land and animal
husbandry.
The questionnaire was answered by students in their last schoolterm. I got 167 answers
from students. 11 employer also were asked about their ideas conserning the students
thoughts about their coming work.
The questions where about wages, working environement, responsibility and
further education. The questions were multiple choise. In some questions there was the
opportunity to give personally alternative. The answer to the question about the status of
the work with domesticated animals, was free for own commentary. In the comparing
part between students and employers, there were four alternative for the answers. 1. not
important, 2. fairly important, 3. important, 4. very important.
The result of the study shows that the salary is ?fairly important? to ?important?. To
have good friends at work is ?very important? . The students think it is more important
to have good working environment than the employers think it is. The pupils do not
think it is important with further education but my analyse about that is that the result are
affected by the students longing for a work and a opportunity to earn their own
money after twelve years at school. The most important result in this study is
that the students think that work with domesticated animals have a high status. 31,3%
gave that answer.
The students also say that it is the people around them that look down on them at work.
The students know that they have to be capable, competent and have the right feeling to
be able to take care of the domesticated animals like cows, pigs and beefcows.
