"The purpose of the study was to determine whether the Clay County youth who will soon be graduated from high school and entering the job market will know the positions, incomes, and training requirements they should expect. Youth seem to be idealistic when it comes to the subject of work in relation to income and training. The study is an attempt to answer the following questions: 1. What is the relationship between the main high school course of study and plans for the first year after graduation? 2. What is the relationship between the main high school course of study and attitudes of adequacy to enter the job or career world? 3. What is the relationship between career aspirations and (a) training or educational expectations and (b) expected income? 4. What is the expectation concerning combining wife's career and marriage? The objectives of the study were: Objective 1. To analyze the relationship between the main high school course of study and plans for the first year after graduation. Objective 2. To relate the main high school course of study and the attitudes of adequacy to enter the job or career world. Objective 3. To compare the expectations of training or education and of income as they relate to aspired careers. Objective 4. To determine the expectations of selected Clay County youth with respect to women's employment after marriage"--Introduction. === Typescript. === "December, 1974." === "Submitted to the Department of Home Economics Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." === Advisor: Agnes J.
