Abstract

For many young people from the popular classes of work and overlapping study is a determinant of their youthful condition. Little is known about who is this guy out of work and school and more rare are the studies that show the strategies that they build to combine work and study with the other dimensions of his life in their daily lives. This study aimed to analyze the daily lives of young people who work and study, identifying how they reconcile work and study with the other dimensions of the youth condition. Specifically, it was intended: a) to describe the daily life of young people as they prepare to experience balance work, school and other spheres of life; b) identify factors related to the overlapping of work and study that facilitate or hinder the daily life of the other dimensions of the life of the young; c) describe what strategies they build in their daily lives to such reconciliation. It is exploratory, descriptive qualitative approach using the theoretical frameworks of dialectics. The scene was a state public school located in Divinópolis-MG. Pupils of the night period that school working. In the first phase of field work, he tried to trace the profile of these students from questionnaires. In the second, there were workshops, selecting five youths who were observed and built a diary, allowing describe how they prepare their daily experiences. The analysis showed an arduous routine permeated by contradictions, values and desires. Proved strategies to subvert the pernicious game hegemon, unfavorable to young people, and minimize losses from ways to relate and live consistent with its context. They showed up: organization of time between useful and available days; creativity to minimize boredom and lighten the daily. Recognize the values of the school: training and instrumental, favoring the latter. The youth work tends to be now forming, sometimes deforming. Between these extremes are built youth identities marked by inequalities and the daily struggle to overcome them. Participants make difficult choices, bearing inevitable losses, which can contribute to maintaining the cycle of poverty in which they live. They described different strategies to reconcile the youth-work-study triad. Arrangements for future plans tend to be more creative than realistic, waiting for changes in their realities marked by a dichotomous invisibility and multiple ambiguities. Many difficulties faced by these young people to experience some aspects of their juvenile condition are based on fatigue, time scarcity and poverty. Although exhausting, the concurrence in question also strengthens participants because it enables them to experience important aspects related to youth cultures. There is a reciprocal relationship in determining the three conditions studied, giving a specific category: young, worker and student. It is suggested that their specificities are taken into account by the social sectors wishing to develop work involving them actively and coparticipativa way. It is urgent to promote access to material, symbolic and even emotional goods, but to do so it is necessary to make policy and develop action "with" and not only "for" youth.
