This article deals with the results of research conducted between 2012 and 2014, whose objective was to analyze how the class and the race constitute different itineraries for young women of a Metropolitan Region of Brazil. Eight young people between the ages of 19 and 28 were interviewed, four of the popular classes and five of middle classes, three white and five black. As results, we find differences of class and race in the itineraries. White and middle-class young people have shorter courses and are able to have a somewhat more consistent information network and report a more conflictive decisionmaking process. While the black and working class youths narrate longer routes, they have a more precarious support network and their decision-making processes need to be more immediate.
