MESS HE Intelligence, personality, special abilities, and health are all factors to be kept in mind in considering the requirements of a job. Different jobs require different levels of intelligence. The engineer requires a higher level of intelli- gence than does the day laborer. Personality is just as important as intelligence in many types of work. Try to find out if you have the personality necessary for the vocation you have selected. lf you wish to be a musician, you should have a keen sense of pitch and rhythm. An artist must have an eye for color and pro- portion. Examine yourself for special abilities required in the job. Also examine the physical demands of the iob and check to see that you have the necessary physique. Will the job meet your requirements? Far too many people in the United States are dissatisfied with their iobs. To be happy and successful you must examine your desires critically and carefully. Find out how much money you will need a month to maintain the kind of home you wish. Examine the chances for advancement in the iob. A good plan is to consult men and women who are successful in the job. Try hard to make an intelligent choice and then plan to attain the goal you seek. I wish to extend my congratulations and my thanks to Miss Brosnan, faculty adviser, to Bill Mueller, Editor, to Bill Heck, Business Manager, and to the Acorn Staff for the efficient and businesslike way in which the T946 Acorn was produced.

BRYAN' EDUCATION AND JOBS Since V-J Day hundreds of discharged servicemen have come to Alameda High School seeking advice about their future education and about job possi- bilities. Those who left high school before graduation see clearly that in order to compete for worthwhile jobs they must have more education. A common remark made by many of the men is something like this: Gee, I wish I hadn't fooled around in high school, a fellow needs all the education he can get to compete with the smart fellows who seem to be in every section and every squad of the service. Tell the kids who are in school now to make the most of their opportunities. We try to help the men in every way possible by suggest- ing means of securing a high school diploma and by arranging for them to enroll in a high school, a iunior college, or a college. They help us by encour- aging the students now in high school to stay in high school and to do better work. Education is important to the men who have fought World War II because it means better iobs and better jobs mean a higher standard of living and more security and happiness for a man's family. Education is power. It is the power behind the most important devices invented by man. Education has enabled us to learn how to send our voices around the earth, how to increase the yield of corn, how to organize men into modern armies or into great indus- tries and states. Education has made possible the discovery of atomic energy. Some form of education is back of every worthwhile iob or career. In order to get the best possible kind of education for a particular iob, it is desirable to choose one's occupation at an early age. The selection of a career is one of the most difficult tasks confronting the high school student. It is also one ofthe most important for his success and happiness. The people who are most enthusiastic about their jobs are the people who are doing what they like and who seem naturally fitted for their work. In making a selection, a student should examine himself carefully to see that he has the necessary requirements to handle the job. He should also examine the iob thoroughly to see that it meets his requirements. I6I
