ACP Survey Shows Over One-half High
School Students Want to Attend College
By Associated Collegiate Press.
More than half the 10,000,000
high school students in the United
States hope to continue their edu
cation upon leaving high school or
when they complete their service
with the armed forces, the latest
Fortune Survey reveals.
This survey also discloses that:
High school students over
whelmingly plan to enter the
professions rather than train
for skilled labor jobs.
Students hope to be earning
an average of $49.81 a week
ten years from now.
Both boys and girls would pre
fer to marry someone whose
outstanding qualities were a
sense of humor and ambition to
get ahead.
Here is how student opinion was
divided on the question: "What
do you expect to be when you
finish high school?"
All
Students Boys Girls
Go on to
school .. 57.8 51.1 M.6
Go to work 26.1 2X9 28.3
Go in armed
forces .. 11.3 21.7 .7
Get married 1.8 . .2 3.6

"Unfortunately
Fortune declares,
or otherwise,"
"it is extremely
unlikely that anything like 57.8
percent of our 10,000,000 high
school students will, as they hope,
go on to a higher education. For
only about one-tenth of the youth
of college age was enrolled in col
leges, universities and vocational
schools during the pre-war decade.
Even though college attendance
may continue to rise after the
war, there is probably a wide
margin of wishfulness between
the number of students who plan
for college education and the num
ber who will actually achieve it."'
Next question was: "What oc
cupation are you planning to
enter?" The students answered as
follows:
Engineering, nursing, teaching,
arts, medicine, law
35.8 36.1 35.5
Mainly clerical and secretarial
Factory work, skilled trades
21.1 8.0 34.4

forces .... 4.5 8.5 .3

says, "must give educators and so
ciologists pause for thought. For
their expectations do not even add
up to a skeleteon force for an in
dustrial and agricultural nation,
with only a bare 15 percent of the
children of both farming and la
boring families choosing to con
tinue in their parents work."
However, when students were
asked to choose between secure
low-wage jobs and uncertain but
high-wage jobs, their replies
showed "a cautiously venturesome
majority among boys of 58 per
cent who chose the uncertain bet
ter paid jobs. The girls are in
clined to prefer to find cover un
der poorly paid security."
The survey brought forth thor-
oly American and adolescent re
plies to the question: "How much
do you think you should be earning
about 10 years from now?"

To questions concerning stu
dents' relationships at home, the
survey found that "the majority
of United States school children
are in comfortable accord with
their immediate personal environ
ments. Excluding the moot sub
ject of bedtime, the percentages
of high school children who agree
with their fathers range from 65.7
on the subject of boy friends to
87.3 on the subject of churchgoing;
the scale of agreement is about the
same in the case of mothers. This
speaks for domestic harmony."
When asked to grade their
teachers, the high school students
rated them as follows:
Percentage of teachers re
ported as top-flight ....52.6
Percentage reporting no
teachers second-rate ...21.7
Percentage of teachers re
ported as second-rate ..27.4
Percentage who consider
no teachers top-flight . . 1.9
"Schools are generally regarded
by the students adequate," Fortune
says, but warns that "the more
intellectual curiosity a pupfl has,
he longer his attendance, the less
s his satisfaction with the teach
ing he gets."
