Abstract

As the graduates of colleges and universities receive their diplomas and leave their Alma Mater, a new and different challenge confronts them. Their problem now is not one of being free of the struggles of completing their education but rather the anticipation of what will be their success in the future. They feel that now they are qualified to take over new jobs and responsibilities for which they have been trained. Many will be successful in securing good positions in their respective fields (others may have to start at the bottom and gain their advancement through more learning while on the job).

Many of these graduates will secure employment in fields entirely foreign to those for which they fell they are well qualified. To their minds will no doubt come the question, "What good has my college training been to me?" The answer to that question could lie in the subjects of the curriculum they folloed in college. They have followed a prescribed course which contains subjects designed to give them a well-rounded education. Some have followed the course faithfully while others have deviated slightly. This deviation may prove harmful in some respects and beneficial in others.
