Health careers hot;
farms continue fall
By Kip Fry
Staff Reporter
A lucrative and secure career. That's
what you will probably get if you pursue
a career in computers, engineering and
various health services.
These fields are going to grow faster
than usual during the next few years,
according to Janel Queen, assistant
director of UNL's Career Planning and
Placement Center.
"There is a growing need for tech
nology, for computers and for computer
teachers," Queen said. "People are
afraid that computers will take over the
creative, more challenging jobs
But
computers will handle the dull work."
Thk in turn will create more time for
leisure, Queen said, so jobs will need to
ha coated in serve those with more
spare time. Subsequently, the high
tech revolution will produce more jobs
than it will replace, she added.

Work ethic
By Amy Edwards
Staff Reporter
Although no national rankings
between colleges are available, UNL
graduates are in demand each year
because of the quality of the schools
and the ethics of Midwestern students,
officials say.
Jim Schiefelbein, of UNL Career
Planning and Placement said that a
school's reputation makes a difference
in the job opportunities its graduates
receive. According to Schiefelbein,
companies continue to recruit from
UNL because of the high standards of
the university and the Midwestern
work ethics of the graduates. Schie-felbei-n
defined students with such
ethics as "loyal, hardworking and
upright people."
'People who are hiring who come from
large universities are inclined to hire
graduates from a larger university.'
Kent Propst
"Recruiters are happy with the
people they've employed, so (they)
come back year after year," said
Schiefelbein.
Schiefelbein said all of UNL's colleges
do well in job markets, particularly the
teacher's, business administration and
engineering colleges.
"These stand out because they are
the most recruited," he said.
Assistant Dean Ron Joekel, Teachers
College, said their placement record is
partly because of the "interview fair"
the college offers every year. School
superintendents are invited to review
graduates, and many are hired on the
spot.
High admittance standards are another
reason for the high placement records.
According to Joekel, students must
take a pre-professional skills test and
have a grade point average of 2.5 or .
more to get into the college,
Kent Propst, director of college
advancement at Peru State College,
said state colleges and private colleges
in Nebraska have a good reputation
but, "in Nebraska there is no question
that the universities of Nebraska enjoy
and deserve the better reputations."
Propst said that hiring practices
generally rely on two things: the type of
job and who is doing the hiring.
"People who are hiring who come
from large universities are inclined to

trial machinery and machine tools,
according to a publication of the State
Occupational Information Coordinating
Commission.
There also will be a rising demand
for the products of tool and die makers,
placing that field in demand, the publi
cation said.
An increased number of insurance
adjustors also will be needed because
of the growth of insurance sales.
Other fields that received positive
predictions include accounting, mar
keting and sales, financial admin
istration, education, and institutional
management, Queen said.
But according to the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission,
farm-related occupations are among a
number of fields that are expected to
ue uoetuie.
Queen said that the major hot spot
for jobs will be the Northeast.
"But we're not the worst off," she
added. "The northwest is hurting the
most."
Queen noted that quotas for large
employers are down, so prospective
employees migni nave a oeuer cnance
with smaller organizations. People
forget to look at local opportunities,
she added.
"I hate to have people plan for a
career on a five-year projection," Queen
said. "They should do what they want
to do."
wins jobs
hire graduates from a larger university."
Propst said, however, that he does
not feel threatened by this. Peru State
College has had a 92 percent job
placement rate for the last four years,
which he said he feels exceeds the
national average. Until 1963 Peru State
College was exclusively a teacher's
college and still enjoys an excellent
reputation in that area, Propst said.
Alfred Pagel, Gannett professional
lecturer in UNL's College of Journalism
said that there is more demand than
supply for journalism graduates.
"To my knowledge, no one has
graduated since Dec. 1983 who wanted
to go to work, who isn't out there
working," Pagel said. Before they
receive their diplomas, 25 to 50 percent
of news-editorial graduates have jobs,
Pagel said.
T.E. Hartung, dean of the College of
Agriculture, said 90 percent of agricul
ture graduates are placed within six
months of graduation.
"It appears that we have similar
contacts to Big Eight and Big 10 colleges
and are recognized on par with them,"
Hartung said.
Feedback from people who hire agri
culture graduates show students have
good ethics and are prepared for
interviews, Hartung said.
"As far as-ag-related positions go, we
are the sole source for agencies in
Nebraska," he said.
Joseph Luther, Architecture college
Assistant Dean, said that of students
who graduate with a masters degree in
architecture, 95 percent have jobs with
30 days.
Luther said one of the reasons for
this large demand is that Nebraska is
the center for many large architectural
firms.
Assistant Dean Bonnie Kimble, Law
college, said that for about six or seven
years, employment rate based on
responses from graduate students has
been about 89 percent.
Even though this is a high percen
tage, Kimble said that graduate stu
dents in the law college at UNL have a
tough market to compete in with grad-
uates from Ivy-league schools.
