This booklet is for the high school student and the college fresh-man or sophomore who want information—or MORE information—on occupational fields for women who have a college education. If you already know what you want to do,it will givedirection to your choice of a major field of interest andsupporting electives. If you do not know what you want to do,it will giveyou at least enough information to start you on the wayto finding out. # HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS BOOKLET To get the most out of this booklet,you should read carefullythe preliminary sections before you begin to look up specific occu-pations.These introductory comments give you general informa-tion about determining on an occupation suitable to you and aboutMarygrove's plan to help you prepare for that occupation.Otheraspects of the Marygrove system are presented in the catalogueand in"On the Marygrove Campus." The departments in which Marygrove offers a major arepresented alphabetically.(See the catalogue for departments thatdo not offer a major.)The most important occupations for womenare listed under each department that trains for them.The indexin the back of the booklet will show you where a specific occupationis listed. Remember that only the most important occupations areincluded here;it would take a large volume just to name all ofthe positions women hold in various fields.This general classifica-tion will,however,help you to identify the occupation for which you would like to prepare yourself.You might go into advertising,for instance,to do copy writing,research,commercial art,promotion,publicity,or consumer analysis--but the urge to train for any oneof these positions would probably come from an interest in peopleand the journalistic impulse to influence them.The foundationcourses for all of them would be practically the same;electiveswould vary according to the special aptitudes of the individualstudent.Social service work can be broken down in the same way,and so of the majority of occupations listed by a general title. Supplementary information on particular professions follows thedepartmental classifications. If you plan to be a teacher,for example,read carefully all theinformation under Teaching. If you plan to be a doctor,lawyer,or librarian,see thesections under those respective heads. If Civil Service employment interests you,that is explainedunder Civil Service. Keep in mind that,although in some professions you cannotgo very far in professional standing or salary without graduate orprofessional study,Marygrove will equip you to earn your livingimmediately on graduation from college. Now read ''Women in the World's Work"and the follow-ing sections;then turn to the index or the departmental listings. # WOMEN IN THE WORLD’S WORK World War II taught us a
