Resumo: This article discusses the categories youth and life projects. Its main goal is to question the category life projects, based on a qualitative study with a group of young people from a rural municipality of Minas Gerais state and reflecting about the importance of this category to the contemporary discussion on youth. The study was conducted with high school students, residents of a Brazilian region marked by the culture of migration and whose life projects evidenced from different points of view. The concept of life projects is used in this article in a broad perspective, not limited to professional choices, because life projects cannot be limited to career; after all, life is not work only. To define and characterize the life projects of the subjects, some analytical categories have been discussed and analyzed using a theoretical framework about the notions of youth, life projects, and field of possibilities using and empirical evidence of the ethnographic study performed. The research concluded that, although young people had different ways of organizing their life projects, most of them shared the desire to be someone in life.

Este artigo discute as categorias juventude e projetos de vida, abordando-as a partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada com jovens moradores da zona rural. O objetivo é problematizar a categoria projetos de vida, tomando como referência empírica um grupo de sujeitos de um município mineiro e refletindo sobre a importância dessa categoria para as discussões contemporâneas acerca da juventude. O estudo foi realizado com estudantes do ensino médio, moradores de uma região brasileira marcada pela cultura da migração e cujos projetos de vida mostraram-se sob pontos de vista distintos. A noção de projetos de vida é utiliza neste trabalho em uma perspectiva ampla, não se limitando às escolhas profissionais. Isso porque falar em projetos de vida não pode se limitar a falar em profissão. Afinal, a vida não se resume a trabalho. Para definir e caracterizar os projetos de vida do grupo pesquisado, lançou-se mão de algumas categorias analíticas discutidas a partir de: um arcabouço teórico acerca das noções de juventude, projetos de vida e campo de possibilidades; e das evidências empíricas captadas por meio do estudo etnográfico realizado. A pesquisa concluiu que, embora sejam distintos os modos como os jovens organizam suas condutas futuras, o desejo de “ser alguém na vida” é uma orientação comum à maioria dos sujeitos investigados.
