This handbook is a guide to career opportunities in a broad range of occupations for which a college degree is, or is becoming, the usual background for employment. It contains a brief summary of expected changes in the economy, in addition to an analysis of the overall supply and demand situation for college graduates through the mid-1980's. Each of the 26 occupational statements presents information on the nature of the work, places of employment, education and training required, employment outlook, earnings, and working conditions. The 26 occupations are grouped under 10 headings: Office occupations, service occupations, education and related occupations, sales occupations, occupations in transportation activities, scientific and technical occupations, health occupations, social scientists, social service occupations, and occupations related to art, design, and communications. This volume is intended to be an aid to career planning for students attending or expecting to attend college, as well as their counselors, teachers, and parents. (WL)
