An editorial notes a growing trend of college graduates shunning business careers, alarming recruiters. John E Harmon of the U S Chamber of Commerce cites concern over youths' attitudes toward business while the National Industrial Conference Board reports firms struggle to hire seniors. Harvard's 1964 graduates show only 14 percent aiming for business.
Amherst College reports that nearly half of its alumni are businessmen but fewer than 20 percent of recent graduates entered business. Many went into teaching, scientific research, or public service, with postgrad study rising. Since 1961, interest in public service has grown, and at Harvard 31 graduates joined the Peace Corps. Overall, about a quarter of college graduates go to graduate school, rising annually. Ivy League averages near 75 percent. This shift creates personnel-recruiting challenges for firms, as better-educated youth seek service and intellectual stimulation beyond money, signaling progress in society.
