Mid-Year Graduates Find Jobs Plentiful
Mid-year graduates at KU, Kansas State college and the University of Missouri had no trouble finding employment.
The three schools said today there are many more jobs than mid-year graduates, and that applies to schools of engineering, education, business, agriculture, journalism, and even zoology.
Charles J. Baer, assistant dean of the KU School of Engineering, said, "We could have placed five times as many men as we had. Offers varied from $325 a month up to $450, and one superior man is going to get $500."
The military is going to drain off some of the men, and some of the women are getting married, the three schools reported.
In the field of education, KU reported the "best mid-year prospects in a long time," with men starting at $3,000 a year and women at $2,500 in eastern Kansas and slightly more in the western half of the state. Teachers who coach or teach music are offered a $200 to $300 premium.
The William Allen White School of Journalism said it "didn't begin to have the men or women to fill the jobs."
Missouri's School of Journalism reported "more job calls than usual," and said its 56 graduates were far too few to fill the places. One graduating senior wrote seven prospective employers and got seven acceptances.
At Kansas State, R. I. Throckmorton, dean of the School of Agriculture, said there were three or four job opportunities for each January graduate in agriculture and related fields.
K-State's engineering school produced 15 bachelor of science degrees in mechanical engineering and 51 firms offered them jobs.
