Abstract
CRUZ-BARBA, Evangelina. Choosing a Career in Tourism: a Sociological Perspective. Rev. iberoam. educ. super [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.28, pp.170-185. ISSN 2007-2872. https://doi.org/10.22201/iisue.20072872e.2019.28.435.
Based on Weber’s theoretical proposal on ideal types and Elster’s contributions to understanding the limited rationality of the subject in the election processes, this work presents the narrative of how a group of teachers chose a newly created profession at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, in the 1970s. Based on a qualitative methodology, the author shows how the sediments of the experiences of the interviewees continue in their work as teachers, projecting themselves in the formation of new generations of Tourism graduates.
Keywords : tourism training; elections; higher education; Mexico.
