A hypothesis formulated by Lipset to explain the relatively inferior urban occupations achieved by farm persons was tested by comparing the occupational and educational aspirations of a rural and an urban sample. Among high-school Senior girls, neither educational nor occupational aspirations are significantly related to residence. Among boys, occupational aspiration is not, but educational aspiration is, associated with residential background and is not to be explained by intelligence. This indicates that the farm youth underestimates the importance of education in achieving an occupation. Lipset's hypothesis is only partially correct, and other hypotheses should be tested
