Chats With Your Home Agent Home Economics Offers Variety As Profession so By ESTHER KIRMIS Today I'd like to put in a pitc for 'Home economics as career for your daughter! Many people are vague about (lie possibilities of the profession, perhaps because home econ omists can choose among many different careers. Recently I asked ten girls the question, "What exactly is home economist?" No one had a very clear Idea. Most of them answered "Well .... I know that they teach cooking and sew ing and .... So perhaps I had better tell you something about the field before I tell you why it is one or the most rewarding you can choose. Home Economics means great deal more than learning to make a smooth cream sauce and cutting a pattern, although food preparation and sewing are two important parts of a home- maker's training. It means the study of every aspect of family living, from the efficient plan ning of a kitchen to the relation ships in the family, and in the community. It is true that, in the past most girls who chose home ec onomu's asa-tareer planned to teach some subject related to the science and art of home making. There were not too many other important positions open to them, until manufac turers and merchants began to take notice of the fact that wo men are the greatest buying force in our country, controlling direvtiv or indirectly more than S;i'c of all family income and I buying something like $0 of all consumer goods. Who could advise better about what the homemaker would pun base than someone trained in si ience and art ol homcmak ing? Suddenly the home econ omist was in demand in many pl.icvs besides the classroom. She proved herself so useful that, today, the cirl with a home economics degree can i boose among scores of positions in j industry. Jobs are awaiting her in publishing, advertising, tele vision, radio, and reseat, h. as well as in government, welfare, and institutional management. Openings for teachers are now equally varied and challenging. Training: The girl who has a home ec onomics degree has had a good general education, inclu ding English, the sciences, psychology, and art, by the time she grau uates. She has also studied nu trition, as well as the buying preparation, and service of food She knows about fashion, the care ot testing or textiles, as well as sewing; about interior decorating, as well as the use of the newest home equipment about budgeting for family se curity; about buying a home and buying insurance: about child care and child development family relations, and a great deal about good ouzensmp. Preparation For Her Own Home She is ready for a professional career. She also has tne nest of preparation for the most sat isfactorv of all careers; the man agement of her own home for the health and happiness of her family. And it is easy tor her to turn her knowledge and skill to account outside her home, if he wants to combine a work ing career witn marriage. How often we hear the com plaint from disappointed par ents, "We sacrificed so much to ive our girl a profession, but he married and had a big fam ily right away, Now all her training is of little use. None of a home economists training is wasted. It is of con- tant use to her, no matter what f brines. IVcause she has studied home making as a science and an art, her chances of successful mar riage are better than average. If ihe wants to return to work after hir family is established, her experience in running her own home is usually an asset rather th.m time l.'St from a career. ii sVre are manv chances for her to eotrhi'ie a part time posit-wit'.- !-.-r duties at home. 1 would be happy to talk to ".r !"v-hter about a career in home e-onomies.
