“Far too many students still leave college with an indifferent attitude toward the occupation for which they have been trained,” reads the editorial. “They drift into teaching, but finding the work a bore, they drift into other occupations, often wasting many valuable years experimenting, when a little wise information and counsel during college days might have resulted in a far happier and contended life for the individual girl.”

Vocations discussed ranged from supervision of instruction and personnel work to teaching and occupational therapy.
