Abstract	In a context of fierce competition in the labour market and employment system, the decision to continue studying after completing French short-cycle higher vocational education must be distinguished from the simple individual decision for optimum allocation of resources postulated by standard human-resource theory. It has much more to do with a sequential strategic choice and illustrates behaviour by players facing reality, knowing how to act and react to their evolving environment and the difficulties of dealing with uncertainty, relying more on cognitive than calculated reasoning. This article demonstrates that continued education varies according to students' profiles (according to qualifications, specialisation and gender). It may involve a combination of training strategy and/or employability strategy, and of minimising risks (of failure at university) and maximising competitive advantages. (Contains 4 tables and 1 figure.) (Author).
