Commercial Work And Training For Girls Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Vocations for Business and Professional Women Marked changes and rapid developments occurred in certain types of work for women while this country was engaged in the war. No one is able to estimate the extent to which these developments might have progressed if the war had continued, or the extent to which they would prove permanent. It is an established fact, however, that women were successful in most of the types of work into which they were called by the exigencies of the war. No mention is made in this pamphlet of the types of positions held by women during the war in which the need for them or the opportunities for them were of a purely temporary nature. The attempt is made to discuss those occupa tions in which women have made a definite and permanent place for them selves and in which younger women, the workers of the future, may expect to find fields for service. The teaching profession has been omitted for the reason that most requests for vocational information are directed toward the non-academic vocations and neither the Intercollegiate Bureau of Occupations nor so far the Bureau of Vocational Information has conducted investigations into the opportunities in 'the many subdivisions of the teaching profession. The several sections dealing with opportunities, requirements, salaries, etc., in the various voca tions listed in this bulletin have in most instances been submitted for com ments and suggestions to experts in their respective fields and the complete bulletin carries their endorsement. It is hoped that, the pamphlet will prove especially helpful to young women in the colleges who are looking for help and guidance in formulating plans for their future work. The only guarantee of the advancement of women beyond routine tasks and subordinate positions is the long plan including as its most important elements a thorough preparation for the work and a professional attitude toward it. Inadequate training and a medal attitude toward it on the part of many women workers account for most of the 10mg lamented closed doors. If the work is suitable for women in general and for the individual woman in particular, if her training is thorough and her interests genuine. The real bars to her success have been removed.
