We use the 1991/1992 Qualifications and Careers Survey (QaC) data of the Bundesinsti-tut fuer Berufsbildung (BiBB) and the InstiBundesinsti-tut fuer Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB). This data set asks a random sample of the working population (excluding persons currently enrolled in an apprenticeship, people on military or civil service, and helping family members) about their qualification, job career, workplace conditions, job satis-faction as well as activities in formal and informal education. Similar surveys exit for the years 1979 and 1985/86, but all surveys are cross-sections. The data set collects in total information on 34277 individuals - 24090 for West Germany and 10187 for East Germany. We choose a sub-sample of male employees residing in West Germany, with-out an academic degree, who completed an apprenticeship, which lasts longer than 24 months. In addition we restrict our focus on employees younger the 35 years of age.
