Size, type and location, variety of courses, reputation, specific program needs and commuting distance were judged the most important variables In college or university selection The top live fields students are most interested in pursuing are business, health services, fine arts, vocational-technical and education However business is the only field preferred by both males and females Christensen sees this great interest in business as a trend that follows the market Students are recognizing that an increasing amount of specialization is demanded in the |ob market " Barbara Barker, a counselor at South Eugene High School, agrees She says the Job market seems most visible in business, and jobs in liberal arts fields seem less available. The wide range of options inherent in a business major gives students a large number of future choices," she says Barker also notes that typical high school jobs in selling and other business-related areas create an interest In such employment "Since students in these part-time positions usually start out at the bottom, they see the value of further business education " As an indicator of student opinions, Barker points to the high school curriculum Students demand is reflected in our class offerings and, right now, our business classes are full," Barker points out The survey reveals one last piece of information — 10 per cent more females than males intend to pursue further educa tion Easter is a time of blooming, growing & becoming. . .
