Marketable Skills Valuable To the Modern College Woman
By MARILYN DUBACH
To most college girls the chance of being socially, mentally, and emotionally unemployed might seem as remote as being stranded on Mars.
Learning a trade may seem a needless expenditure of time or a compromise with some high, though perhaps unrealistic, ambition.
Yet the knowledge that may be gained by mastering a marketable skill in college may turn out to be one of the most valuable assets of a college career.
So many women think the thing to do is to get a college degree and then relax and depend on marriage for lifelong security. Idealistically this idea is fine. But many graduate from school unable to secure a job with a profitable future.
Today there are fewer reasons than ever before for American women to have complete security from marriage. With the perilous world situation and changing economic factors women must take the responsibility of providing security for themselves.
The girl who takes a job because it seems glamorous or offers easy hours and little effort is often being shortsighted. She fails to realize that knowledge of a solidly

grounded trade is one of the greatest assets a woman can possess.
She can practice such a trade before marriage, fall back on it during family economic crisis if necessary, and use it when home responsibilities become nonexistent and a life of dependence on married children faces her.
Just the thrill of the knowledge that she is accomplishing something in life by helping other people, teaching other people what she knows, or by just learning further knowledge for herself should be a sufficient incentive to her.
Those women who accomplish a definite purpose in life can feel that other people are benefiting from their work as well as themselves live fuller and happier lives.
Even women who realize they may need jobs in later life often refuse to worry in advance. Some inexperienced people go into business for themselves and are very successful, yet these cases are rare.
Learning a trade should preferably be accomplished in one's youth. In later life, because of the passage of time and the lack of practice in studying, one's ability to learn is considerably reduced.
Whether used professionally or not this trained occupation will give women self-confidence and the certainty of usefulness.
Keeping oneself occupied in a worth-while manner, even if this isn't necessary for financial reasons, adds to the zest of living a rich life.
