Business Employments Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Business Employments When a young man faces the world and has to make his choice of a way to earn his living, three roads open before him, broadly speaking. The first is business, with its many lines. The second is that of the indus tries, which include all skilled and unskilled labor in the manufacturing and building trades and in agriculture. The third is that of the professions, such as engineering, teaching, law, medicine, journalism, and the fine arts. This volume deals with the first of these divisions. It discusses the Opportunities for employment in business. But business itself divides into three branches Manu facture, Trade, and Finance.

There are in America today a number of men with salaries of or more, who held jobs not so long ago at $15 a week. How did they gain such promotion? For every dollar in money each man took from his job he took fifty or a hundred dol lars' worth Of knowledge. Thus each man ultimately fixed his own salary. The way to make an occupation valuable is to look on it as an education. The call Of the business world is for the man who knows. If also he is a man who thinks and who works, a thousand doors Of opportunity swing wide before him; he has but to choose, to enter, to command.
