| Motivation | Persister/dropout | |
|
| IN | Persister | “To me it seems like a very nice education. It seems interesting to me. Just that, learning about Law” (SM25) |
|
| IN | Persister | “I think the social part is important in an education. That is the reason why I chose Social Legal Services. I like all subjects, especially “an introduction to law”, but also the social subjects” (MH23) |
|
| IN | Persister | “I like to figure out, explore things. That seems interesting to me” (2JS13) |
|
| EA | Persister | “I used to want to become a lawyer, because I really liked this. And I watched interesting series and so on. Then my mother said; why not studying Law? Then I thought this was a good idea” (SZ45) |
|
| EA | Persister | “At first I wanted to do something arty, like the film academy. Then I realized I did not want to choose a study without any job possibilities. In that case, I prefer a job at the office which interests me. I spoke about it with my mother, who is a judge” (SZ13) |
|
| EA | Persister | “First I wanted to study psychology of applied sciences, but this was all the way in Amsterdam. I chose not to do this, too far away. Finding a place to live in Amsterdam can be very difficult. Then I visited the open days of the Law School for Applied Sciences and I thought: this really appeals to me” (2JS1) |
|
| EC | Dropout | “I live together now with my boyfriend, so I’m looking at the future. My boyfriend is older than I am, and we want children. So, I should finish the first year first, and then quit, so we can have a child. I should also see whether I’m able to succeed at all, and see whether it’s not too hard” (FE5) |
|
| EC | Dropout | “In the first place, I chose the school. After that, the education. I prefer a large school with a lot of windows over a little one with only one floor or so. Because, yes, I have claustrophobia, so I feel safer over here than in another school” (SV47) |
|
| EC | Dropout | “In the beginning I did not want to continue my studies, I wanted to work. I had bad experiences with the organization at my former school. Then my mother said: you don’t know what it’s going to be like at a new school, maybe it’s different, you are so young, why not continue studying…. I did not visit open days because I did not want to continue my studies. I first needed to change my mindset” (SV14) |
