REWARDS ARE GREAT
Industry's nearly insatiable demand for engineers and for people trained in related sciences has been widely publicized in late years. Particular emphasis has been placed on the opportunities offered in such new fields as jet aircraft, electronics, nuclear energy, and so on.
But the engineering student who is now seriously considering where his best hope for the future lies should not confine his thinking to these new fields. Old and established industries also need engineers of many kinds - and also offer top inducements.
Soft coal is such an industry. It is understaffed in its engineering departments. Through the National Coal Association and other organizations it is actively and aggressively seeking production, safety, sales and other categories of engineers. And coal can say, in truth, that the opportunity is unlimited.
During the coming years, for example, dramatic expansion is universally forecast for the utilities, the steel companies, chemical producers, and other major coal consumers. That means we will need more and more coal - along with ever-improving methods for producing, processing and transporting it. These are tasks for engineers - and the rewards, material and otherwise, are great.
