SENIORS UNDECIDED IN CHOICE OF OCCUPATIONS

Business is given preference over the professions in the selection of occupations by the class of 1922, according to the statistics compiled by Associate Dean R. W. Husband, vocational director of the College, who has interviewed practically every member of the class. A large number of the men are undecided what they will take up.

Of the 272 men who will graduate in June, 187 are in the academic department, 70 are in Tuck School, 10 in the Medical School, and 5 in Thayer School. Out of 187 taking the regular college courses, 63 are undecided in their choice of occupation.

The 67 academic men who have chosen business will branch out into more than 10 divisions as follows: general business 28, manufacturing 22, banking 6, salesmanship 3, business (after specialized study at Harvard) 2, advertising 1, importing and exporting 1, foreign commerce 1, lumber 1, personnel work 1, and real estate 1.

Ten professions have allured the remaining members of the academic department. Law leads with 16 men, while engineering attracts 1. The others line up as follows: medicine 7, graduate study (while teaching in college) 6, ministry 5, journalism 4, teaching (secondary schools) 2, and one man each in dentistry, farm engineering, science in industry, and zoological work. The four men who have chosen journalism will be divided into newspaper work, magazine work, and writers of fiction.
