AFTER GRADUATION-WHAT THEN The choice of a life career is the most important problem a boy or girl mu solve. It is not enough to i from hearsay, or by the many different occupations. Such an ungnided, haphazard method is without purpose and may give false impressions. Mere drifting into an occupation or vocation has caused many individual failures, to say nothing of a great loss to society. Careers must be planned. Former students now realize that it is essential to make an orderly, systematic, and v ell-planned survey of the many occupations. They find it necessary not only to occu -mulate facts, but also to stimulate interest in wide reading, thought, and study. Further evidence of the value £ such a study in the fact that boys and girls who have made a survey of occupations, have shown a readiness to change their intentions and opinions about certain occupations. Perhaps one of the best ways to secure helpful guidance is through reading books on vocations and careers. There arc several helpful books in the library for this use. A very good one is Planning A Career , written by Smith and Bloug'.. It is the result of ctu- 1 torching and experimenting in t .. classroom, with a background of practical ax-oorianc' of writers in sumo thirty different occuo' tin:.s. At th'. end of each chapter, is a list of references or. the occupation that the chapter oxpIfinod. Another vary good bock is Occupations by Got in And Y hoatlcy. These two bocks r.ro very helpful in the fact that they tell all about each occupation. The books tro net on the onoyclopcdir order; they arc v r interesting a d descriptive. Another very important step in planning a career is cccomplis cd by talking to your school teachers. Perhaps they will give you rs much helpful guidance as anyone could. They have known •’■ou for quite a while, therefore can be helpful in finding whrt you arc fitted for. Talk to them end asl: their advice, they may suggest something to you that would bring profit .and that ■'•’ould prove invaluable in later ye'rs. Maybe you do know in what field of occupations vou want to go. In that ease, your best bat is to go to people engaged in that type of vocation. Talk to them and learn whrt is required end v,hrt is asked of '0” in going into that field. Find out about room for advanco-m nt ar.d other necessary and helpful questions that rou may have in mind. Your choice ft this timo will kolp dctcrr.iac your degroo of success -r failure in life. There is onl • one person who cr.n make or undo yen. That 'person is yourself.
