AB  - The focus of this paper is on the experience-based conceptions of Hauptschüler regarding work. These were identified by means of guideline- and problem-based interviews in a research project of the author. Some empirical cases will show that Hauptschüler often experience atypical forms of employment with high job insecurities, vast workloads and a high risk of financial insecurity. On the other hand, standard employment relationships are limited to occupations with low status, low pay and high health risks. Privileged occupations with a high potential of subjectivization are withheld from them. This one-sided institutionally and socially generated work experience causes a rather narrow concept of work in the process of emotional conditioning. At the same time, the subjectivization of work together with the dissolution of boundaries (between private life and work) is a growing general requirement structure for all employees (cf. Lohr, Nickel 2005, 217). In order to deal with job requirements with higher subjective flexibility demands and self-organisation potentials (cf. ibid, 221) – this is my thesis – a different conception of work is needed, in particular an awareness of subjectivization with the dissolution of boundaries. Instead, Hauptschüler will enter the labour market with a rather one-dimensional, negative, and fordistic-based view on work if school education fails to extend and to differentiate these conceptions. However, their conception of work and their work habits which are inconsistent with actual requirements, might exclude Hauptschüler from jobs with higher subjective flexibility demands and self-organisation potentials (“exclusion from subjective dissolution of boundaries”)
