Careers of the Future: Education for Preferable Futures

Maston, Robert E.

Liberal Education, 62, 2, 245-66, May 76

In attempting to improve the interface of education and the world of work, educators should examine three kinds of scenarios: (1) probable futures--what is most likely to happen; (2) possible futures--what could happen; and (3) preferable futures--what should happen. These are related to vocational, creative career, and quality of life contexts. (LBH)
