Abstract The theoretical pre-ideation in relevant to the object sociological fields –that touch on the issues of 1. Social Organization and Social Change and 2. Culture: Social Practices and Conflicts–and our experiential relationship with it were the reasons for the preparation of this master’s Thesis on Careers of Second-Generation Immigrant Students. The significance of the sentiment of (not) 'belonging'. This study seeks to understand the social significance of the sentiment of (not) 'belonging' for second-generation immigrant students and its potential influence on their educational careers. To achieve this purpose, we conduct ongoing empirical social research using qualitative research methods, specifically open-ended biographical narrative interviews. Since, the application of theory to experience and vice versa, the interpretive approach to the position of second-generation immigrant students and the biographical narrative analysis and holistic reconstruction of our primary material are qualified as basic conditions for studying its research object. To provide an example in the investigation of the object, we will use the case study of Z. An active second-generation female immigrant student, who immigrated at a young age with her family from Albania to Greece, where they have resided permanently since then. In short, through the analysis of her case, we observe the following. That the significance of the sentiment of (not) 'belonging' is socially determined, historically specified, and subjectively incorporated, Also, it transpires that as the family moves to Greece she encounters widespread general misrecognition (in housing, education, health, work, politics, religion, etc.) of her subjectively incorporated social value. Finally, because of the continuous mismatch between her subjective predispositions and her objective capabilities, the sentiment of devaluation she experiences due to misrecognition becomes more intense over time, despite being less noticeable. In this way, we understand that since objective structures are completely absent or insufficiently present, they cannot function as fixed references for individuals in space and time. And, therefore, educational investments of this size (i.e. large in effort, time, money, etc.), cannot arise directly from them. Thus, such educational investments can only be supported and sustained through the already incorporated structures –that is the only element, which is permanently durable and permanently fixed in space and time. Therefore, thanks to the existence of a higher cultural capital in the family. Beyond that, however, she invests more and more in education because of the devaluation she experiences as an immigrant. On the one hand, she is socially impeded from investing and, indeed, to the same extent in other forms of capital. Not only due to her social exclusion but because she also excludes herself. That is, forced by the social necessity to prioritize her faith in culture as the most important of all the spheres. On the other hand, she is socially able to defend herself against devaluation through her faith in culture. That is, because of the possibility of validating her educational knowledge and, by extension, her cultural capital not only at an institutional level but also at a wider social level. In other words, because of the ongoing and increasing recognition and acceptance of their symbolic authority, and, therefore, of their value both at the level of structures and the level of everyday practices and meanings.
