Description
| Summary: | "Six years ago when the author undertook to teach a course in vocations to college students, he felt that what the students needed was not a content course of information about occupations but rather a course in the principles and methods underlying the choice of a vocation. This does not mean that college or high school students do not need vocational information. One of the three principles underlying the choice of a vocation is vocational information, but this information must be gathered by the student, in the light of certain methods advocated in this book. A thorough survey of vocational literature revealed that there was not a single book, or even a pamphlet, suitable as a classroom text. Consequently the author worked out an outline for a course and developed it into lectures. These lectures have gradually been modified and improved as the course was repeated year by year, and form the background of this book"--Preface.
