DOES BIG BUSINESS WANT
TO EMPLOY COLLEGE MEN?
A question that should interest a
great many of the students of this
college is discussed in the July issue
of the Atlantic Monthly.
Does Big Business want to employ
college men ? This article is written
by a man who is employed in a large
business and who has spent a great
part of his time in trying to place col
lege men in businesses. As a general
rule executives do not wish to employ
college men. The outstanding crit
icism thy offer is that college men
desire to be advanced faster than his
own development and the exigency of
the business will permit. From the
standpoint of the executive no educa
tional training whatever offers an ac
ceptable substitute for a reasonable
period of actual work in a business or
ganization. The reasonable period of
actual work in business means at least
five years. The college student ex
pects to become an executive in less
time than this. If the college student
would spend these five years in hon
est work and if he gives unusual serv
ice he is sure to reap an unusual re
ward.
A great deal of the irritation Big
Business feels with the college man
has to do with his manners. x “Exec
utives easily excuse crudeness in a
man who comes up from the ranks,
but they are still very generally fill
ed with the notion that a college
education connotes gentility.” Many
self-made business executives in one
and the same breath depreciate a col
lege education and exaggerate the,
benefits it confers.
The article not only shows why bus
iness executives are not over anxious
to employ college men, but it also
gives the objections of the college stu
dents themselves to big business cor
porations. The student who intends
working in a large organization would
be well repaid for reading this article
and learning the main objections Big
Busines has to the college graduate.
