Life Opportunities -
"What do I want out of life?"
As a high school student, you must ask yourself this question
—and answer it, too, for the decision you make will determine
your entire future. The thought itself can be almost frightening
if you’re afraid to face the facts—for it makes you realize that the
time has come to climb out from behind your wall of protection
and make plans for your life—plans that cannot be taken too lightly.
There are certain factors that must be taken into considera-
tion when planning your career. The top four, as indicated by a
survey taken in 31 representative Texas high schools, are future
position, security, prestige, and future wages. The next in line
were starting wages and rapid advancement, although these were a
poor fifth and sixth..
These, of course, are the primary considerations for you, as high
school students, to look for when you plan your future, but prob-
ably no field offers more to the modern youth than mass commu-
nications. ============
Immediately you'll say, "Yeah, that may be true, but I don't
want to work for a newspaper all my life." For the non-thinker,
that's the logical answer, but a person with a little intelligence, who
uses it, will realize that Journalism is the broadest field open today—
a field expanding daily with a gait as rapid as our modern way of
^ living itself.
Let's take a look at Journalism in the modern sense. No
longer is a Journalism career restricted to newspapers, as it once was.
Journalism of the atomic age necompasses radio, television, mag-
azines, including every type imaginable from agriculture to zoology
and the huge, ever-widening field of business publications and tech-
nical journals, public relations, and the magic of advertising.
The possibilities in Journalism are virtually unlimited. As to
future position and wages, the ceiling hasn’t been reached. With
the big boom in radio, television, new and more diversified busi-
ness and technical publications, and advertising, the top wages
I for the best men reach the sixfigure mark. The dream of all news-
paper men, that of owning their own paper, comes true to hund-
reds with many of the Texas weeklies grossing more than $100,000
