Value Preferences and Life and Work Expectations of Higher Education Students

The paper is focused on the value preferences of students. The data collection of the survey was realized from 2009 to 2011 [with a sample of 340 (economics) students ( in total)]. The answers were classified into ten categories. Schwartz's value types were one of the bases for this classification. The text also deals with the students' life and work expectations in the different horizons of one year, five, and ten years. We used the same categories mentioned above in the case of life expectations. In the second case ( of work expectations) the responses were classified into five categories. The results of the fields of interest are presented.
