As you have completed your High school education, you are, no doubt, looking out into the future and won- dering what you had better do and where you can make your life count the most for yourself and for others.

Successfull careers are built upon a solid founda- tion—the foundation of preparation. To do great things you. must be pre- pared to undertake great things. To accomplish more than the ordinary man and woman accomplishes, you must be trained to do some few things in a superfor way. The “Jack- of-all-trades” is no longer in demand.
