Whither the Young Graduate?
Maybe This Holds the Answer
How the average high school student will be occupied one year from this June has been determined by a recent survey of 1,000 of last June's graduates. Teachers colleges, business colleges and vocational schools will absorb 140 graduates from the school surveyed, all in towns of approximately 3,000.
Clerical jobs in grocery stores, filling stations, shoe stores, etc., will be filled by 236 graduates. This total includes delivery boys and "handy men," most of whom serve part time in a clerical capacity. Thirty-one salesmen also received the sheepskins this year. The latter includes house-to-house canvassers.
Students numbering 171 will attend college or university the first year, with a large percentage failing to return the second year. Lack of industrial opportunity has increased college enrollment. A total of 162 will remain at home without finding work. This figure includes girl graduates not planning to work.
Agriculture will claim 190 graduates, many of whom are returning home to work. Included also are youths who are going to work on a farm for the first time. Seventy-seven are listed under a miscellaneous heading, including truck drivers, CCC enrollees, mechanics, waitresses and odd-job workers.
