Abstract

The random haphazard method of occupational role assignment by society is probably the result of an education system based on the "gentlemen's education" concept of the 18th century, according to Eli Ginzberg. Even with the broadening of the public school system in the early 1900's to allow education for all, there were few changes in the process of assisting youth in preparation for and assignment to various occupational roles. Major emphasis by the schools and society was not placed upon maximizing for individuals.
