Editoria C HOOSING A CAREER 'What shall I do with my life? VVhich career shall I choose?' That is a question which every young man and woman must ask himself 3 and because it has such a bearing on a person's happiness, it is a question which must be given serious thought and the help of experience. Of course, there are a few cases in which an individual decides upon the right career from the very start. He may have shown unmistakable talents suited for a special field, or his parents may have made a lucky choice in picking his career. However, these cases are rare: and to the majority of people the choosing of a career comes more slowly. In past years a great deal of attention has been given to the development of intelligence tests, thus finding a person's intelligence quotient. These tests are useful for determining the general ability of the student, however, they cannot reveal special talents or point out the right career. Another test which has re- ceived widespread attention is the interest test, designed to determine subjects or field which attracts the individual: nevertheless, these are in an ex- perimental stage and can't prove anything definite. Consequently, each person must choose his own career, unless in some cases financial and social pressure may force a person to enter a certain field. Even if this is the case, he can still work his way by degrees into a more desirable occupation. c Because each person must choose his own career, his decision must be an in- telligent one, based on fact and not fancy. Whenever the opportunity arises, he should visit different places of business, see how they operate, and talk with experienced people about various occupations. ln this way he can receive a clear idea of the duties of the various fields. The individual should study carefully the requirements of a contemplated career. The job may require a specialized education or a definite amount of capital. The job may be one which begins with a fair wage or it may be one which the wage depends upon the ability of the person or the length of time one is employed in the firm. Therefore, every person should carefully consider these factors when planning for his future. Frequently an individual's good traits are not apparent until he finds the right job. Under the influence of the right work his energy capacity may increase, his thoughts develop more rapidly. The job acts as a stimulant, arousing the latent powers of the individual. Because of this, the individual should be cautious in appraising his own powers, cautious in deciding that he has a defic- iency in one trait and an outstanding ability in another. No one can begin too early to consider what career he shall choose. The per- son who starts early in studying and investigating various fields is the one who will have a happy future. Natalie Angell
