Abstract	"It is important for adolescents' future well-being, job satisfaction, and job performance to aspire to occupations that fit their vocational interests. The reason why adolescents do not achieve such a fit might not lie alone in anticipated labor-market barriers or their school achievement but also in their vocational interests. Based on Gottfredson's (1981) theory on the circumscription of occupational aspirations, I test whether there are vocational interests for which circumscription processes do not leave adolescents with a selection of acceptable occupations they can aspire to that also fit their vocational interests. Descriptive analyses based on the German Microcensus provide information on occupations primary RIASEC code based on Holland (1997) and their gender composition and social class (socio-economic status and educational composition). These analyses show that adolescents with realistic and investigative interests should seldomly be able to aspire to occupations that simultaneously conform to all three aspects of their self-concept, which consists of their gender, social class, and their vocational interests. In such cases the youngest element of the self-concept should be abandoned - the vocational interests. Using a sample of adolescents who were in upper secondary schools, I run a series of logistic regressions that confirmed this assumption." The study refers to the period 2015-2018.
