This article aims at understanding the expectancies of the professional insertion construction of a group of students in the end of their Psychology training in a countryside university of Rio Grande do Sul State. We used as theoretical support the contributions of Michel Foucault and Robert castel. The interviews were conducted according to the methodology of life trajectories, as described by Robert cabanes and Daniel Bertaux, in order to establish the relationship among the trajectories, the labor market and the construction of the professional ideal. We conducted 6 open interviews that followed the biographical approach technique. The conclusions reveal the distance between the ideal of training based on clinical skills associated to social upgrade and to the labor market’s reality and to the social vulnerability of the trajectories of this particular group.
