Seniors in 1982: what will happen to them? n unsettled economic climate and changes in federal program for college students left many seniors uncertain about their future as graduation day neared. While in the mid-seventies, about 50 percent of Stevenson graduates opted for college, the ratio was back to 60 to 40 this year, with about every six out of ten seniors planning on college, either part-time or full-time. The following facts reveal some interesting in¬ formation about the 1982 seniors: • The first class graduated in 1968, thus the 1982 graduating class is the school ' s 14th to go through commencement. • About 612 seniors were in the class for the official count in October; about 1 percent, mostly male, had dropped out by June. Another few (less than 1 percent) failed to complete requirements for graduation and had to go to summer school. Both figures are well below national averages. • If tne class of ' 82 is typical, about 50 per cent of the graduates will go to college full-time and another 10 to 12 percent part-time. • About 35 to 38 percent will work full-time. Among those are some very ambitious people who also attend college full-time. • Of those working after graduation full-time, about half will work in the Livonia area, the rest in other parts of the state. Only 1 percent will find work outside of the state. • About 30 to 32 percent of graduates will work part-time, mostly in Livonia, some at college. • Marriage ana the military are still a very limit¬ ed option for most seniors, at least immediately after graduation. About 2 per cent of the students in the class of ' 82 will be married in the next 24 months, somewhat less than 2 percent will enter the military service. When they do serve Uncle Sam, the Army and Navy will be equally popular, the Air Force and the Marines less so. • Stated career goals follow national trends, with those going to college chosing business, en¬ gineering and health fields as the top three.
