There are many good reasons why the high school graduate should take a business course immediately after receiving his diploma. Here are some of them: (1) If you are trained for business employment and then wish to go to college, you can use your education both to help you with your studies and to pay your expenses in case you need to be self-supporting. (2) If you do not finish your four-year course in college, you have something to fall back on for self-support. (3) If you finish your university course and cannot find employ ment in the profession in which you have qualified, you can take a busi- ness job. (4) If you follow the profession for which you prepare in col- lege, a knowledge in business will help you to make it practical. You will notice that the best lawyers, the best doctors, and best engineers, etc., are all good business men and women. (5) If you do not desire to go to college, you will be able to se- cure a position and begin your business career as soon as you complete your commercial course. A great many educators are saying, “FIRST finish high school, NEXT take a business course in a business school, and THEN go to col- lege or go to work.” Brantley-Drau Main, Third to Fourth (Phone 3-1307) Will Have a Fair Chance at SUBSTANTIAL SUCCESS Forward-Looking Young Person Want? WHERE IS OPPORTUNITY? In many places there is no opportunity — and for many people there is no opportunity. Opportunity travels on a high level — and op- portunity, like a fast train, seldom stops where there is on chance to do business. It is certainly true that the greatest opportunities today are in the field of business — and also that opportunity means most to those who are prepared to render superior service in this field. If we are to take earnings as a basis for measuring success, busi- ness ranks head and shoulders above all other vocations. Making money is not the whole measure of success, but is one of the very essential. factors. You are looking ahead and thinking ahead. You now have your basic education, and you’re anxious to know where your chance for achievement lies. If you will look about you, you will conclude that there are a thousand business men needed for every doctor, every clergyman, every lawyer, every engineer, and every architect in the community. In other words, there are a thousand calls for trained young people in busi- ness to one for those trained for any given profession. Business training will prepare you to make a living—that is the first step toward useful citizenship. It has been said that the kind of life one lives is determined by the way one makes one’s living. If this be true—and it is—it is important to be able to make enough money to live well. ghon College Fort Worth, Texas (Phone 3-1307) University Supply and Equipment Co.
