Sažetak
Among other things that modern democratic societies wish to exhibit is also the fact that they are meritocratic. In such societies, a social standing that brings prestige, power and material gains has to be earned by one's own efforts, education and capabilities, which should be a sufficient motive for those taking an education and planning a career. To what extent is this motive present in Croatian society is a central issue of this paper, as well as the question whether the country's youth can recognize it in everyday life. University students were questioned about their attitudes, and their answers indicate whether they see a connection between education and social development, and what they expect in the future after graduation. Do the university students recognize themselves as future managers or as employees without any responsibilities? The paper will present a part of research conducted in January 2011 at Osijek University with students closer to graduation.
