Employment Opportuniti es For Gr aduates of
Collegiate Schools of Business
The largest sing le career field open to college graduates is in the
management an d operation of business firms according to a study by
the U . S. Department of Labor 's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
num b er o f gra duates from university business courses has risen very
rap idl y in the past 30 years. In 1920 , 1 ,500 stu d ents were grante d
bachelor s an d firs t professional degrees in business administration
and commerce. By 1940, t h ere wer e 1 9,000 gra duates. During the
war , enrollment and gra duations fell substantiall y, but after the' war ,
the tremendous flow of veterans into business courses was reflected in
the record fi gures of 38,000 gra duates in 1948, and more than 60,000
in 1949. Even more will gra duate this June. The great rise in training
in business has made collegiate business education the second largest
field after teacher training, p lacing it ahead of engineering, agricu lture ,
law , an d medicine . What are the employment prospects for these
gra duates?
beveral factor s a ff ect t h e l ong range emp l oymen t out l oo k f or
stu dents in this field : the growth of business administration employ^
ment , h eavy rep lacements needs expected over the coming years, and
increasing use of business administration graduates to fill these jobs.
It is likel y t hat total business employment will continue to grow
over t h e l ong run , causing a moderate increase in the number of executive jobs. There also will be a continuation of the trend toward
greater specialization and increased complexity in business. This has
led to the wider use of such specialized workers as accountants, personnel workers, mar k et researc h ana lysts , an d sales executives . However , a large part of this development has alread y ta k en place and it
is not likel y that it will have as much effect in creating openings for
manageria l workers as in the past.
Althou g h the demands for graduates of collegiate business courses are expected to increase in futur e years, there will continue to be
severe competition for the better jobs which lead to executive positions.
During 1947 and 1948 , there was a strong demand for business graduates by business firms making up their wartime deficit of administrative
an d professional trainees. In 1949 , a d ec l ine 'in business activity caused
many companies to curtai l their recruitment programs. As a result
there was keen competition for available jobs among the record crop
of more than 60 ,000 business graduates , an d many were not immediatel y able to find job s which matched their qualifications. It is too
soon to tell definitel y whether this situation means that the number
traine d has onl y temporari ly outrun the long-run demand and immediate repl acement nee d s, or whether business cannot normally absorb this many graduates in executive trainee jobs or in beg inning
jobs in specialized fields such as accounting and advertising.
The main source of new job opportunities for graduates of business schools will be in the replacement of executives now employed as
t hey die or retire from business;. New graduates will not , of course,
o b tain top jo b s , but the dropp ing out of those holding responsible jobs
resu lts in promotions within the organizations and vacancies in beg inning jobs. A large proportion of the executives in the hig her-ranking administrative and technical jobs in industry are in the upper-age
brackets where many leave each year because of death or retirement.
This means that a hig her percentage than usual must be replaced
during the next 10 to 15 years, Many companies are seriously concerned about this problem.
Will graduates of university business courses be hired for executive positions in preference to those without degrees, other qualifications being equal? Present indications are that a growing proportion
of both top level jobs and specialized operating jobs will go to these
business graduates. Educational requirements for business executive
positions are being increased , in line with the trend toward hig her
educational requirements in many other fields of lemployment. Eventually, college graduation may be required for most jobs at the administrative level. Not all of these jobs will go to graduates of business
courses, however , since eng ineers , lawyers , and other professional
workers will be competing strong ly in many industrial fields.

7-6 Defeat at Hands of

A pop fly that dropped in the center of the infield and another infielding error gave Lock Haven S. T. C.
two runs which were enough to defeat the Huskies 7 to 6 at Lock Haven last Friday.
Bill Byham who relieved Mike Evans in the eighth frame after the first

Byham struck out the first two

rolled to Riley who threw into the

the game.

In the Waller Hall Men's Intramural Tennis playoffs, only one set
has been played thus far. In this
meeting, Dave North topped Dave
Heckman by a 6-3, 6-3 count in both
sets.
Heavy activity on the courts will
take place this week so as to widdle
down the number of prospective
champs to the semi-finals at least
since only a few days remain on the
school calendar.

Second World War we found ourselves using throat microphones for
use in airplanes or other places where
noise interfered with the message.
"Hams" were the pioneers in wireless."
Mr. Davenport went on to discuss
the beginning of our network system ,
means to regulate the dial, the part
quartz crystals play in communication , copper as the fundamental carrier, magnetism as the twin of electricity, and the constitution of radio

easily replace the tube.

Students :
From hundreds of you came sincere compliments
which is more than enoug h remuneration for a tired
editor. Countless hours of labor b y the entire staff
would have been wasted if the members of this student body did not appreciate OBITER 1950 in its
final form. Firs t I say thanks to the students of
Bloomsburg, Without you the book would not have
been a reality, OBITER 1950 was of you, for you,
and by you. I also wish to publicl y acknowled ge the
tremendous amount of help received from Mr . Edward T. DeVoe, faculty adviser to the book , My
sincere thanks go to every member of the efficient
staff. I refer you to page one hundred seventy two
of this year 's OBITER for further acknowled gements. With these words, I remain a grateful editor.
I sincerely say
Th a nk you,
