M. H. S. BULLDOG 1947 'I9 EDITORIALS CHOOSING A VOCATION Have you chosen your vocation? Or don't you know what field to enter? Ask yourself these questions: l. In what Held does my interest lie? 2. Am I capable of successfully com- pleting training in that course? 3. Is money my chief obstacle? Classmates, there's no ceiling on oppor- tunity today. Business and industry are crying for men and women of ability for high positions. It's only logical that the young men and women with the most training, initiative, and education will be the first to procure permanent positions. Thus, it is necessary for high school grad- vatcs lo become skilled in a particular Held. There are several ways in which one can work his way through college-with- out selling magazines, too. Write to the college which you prefer asking for infor- mation on opportunities that will cut down expenses. Then, of course, there are the summer jobs. In one summer one can earn his tuition to college easily now. Perhaps you haven't discovered the right course yet. There are always the fields of business administration, law and medicine. Right now more than 120,000 nurses are needed to fill vacancies. In this air and atomic age the electrical, aeronautical, civil, and chemical engineer- ing courses are important. You boys scoff at the thought of busi- ness administration, foreign trade, or com- merce. You say, Aren't there any outdoor occupations? Certainly. There is the building in- dustry including masonry, carpentry, and architecture. Conservation is an intensely interesting and wide-spread field. Study of soil, forest, fish, and game conservation would interest any young American. The American Forest Industries can provide further information on this. Girls and boys alike may obtain good paying positions once they have studied psychology to obtain a job as a personnel manager in the huge department stores. The psychologists who are employed in the state institutions may not be paid as well as the personnel group, but they may prove to have a more interesting occupation. Did you especially like sociology? Social welfare workers are greatly needed. This also is interesting work. There arealso numerous advantages for girls in merchandising, dress designing, art. foreign trade and diplomacy. Yes, the sky is the limit for opportun- ities in this age. Explore the different fields-find out what you'll be happiest doing. You may spend the rest of your life in this occupation. Choose well--choose an occupation that will make you happy. GLORIA FRANKLIN, '47 ARE WE PROUD OF MAINE I-Iave you ever been to Maine, the play- ground of the nation? If not, you have missed a rare treat. Maine, according to the people who look in on us, is still holding her own against the Indians. We, the people of the Pine Tree State, believe that we have ad- vantages equal to if not superior than those of any other state in the Union. We are not trying to make any rash statements, but have you ever considered the various bene- fits and resources which Maine has? There is the scenery. In the early autumn, do you ever take your camera and go for a walk over the hills, snapping pic- tures of the beautiful foliage in our great forests, or take a canoe ride into the center of one of Maine's beautiful lakes where you can lean back and let your glance wander over the distant purple-blue moun- tains, harmonizing so beautifully with the rainbow coloring of the sunset? What would you do at a great dinner without our Aroostook potatoes? Aroo- stock county, although located in the northernmost corner of the state, is called
