The Career Pattern of Ndea Elementary School Counselors

The focus of the study is on the 13-year career pattern of the individuals who were trained as elementary school counselors in 1965-67 under the National Defense Education Act at the University of Illinois. Also, the study is an attempt to provide information as to whether the intent of the federally-funded training program was accomplished. The major questions are as follows: (1) What was the nature of career pattern development of the subjects after training? How many times did they change occupations? (2) Were there any relationships between parents' education and occupation and those of the subjects? (3) Was there any relationship between age and mobility? (4) Had there been discrimination barriers in getting hired? (5) What were the elements of satisfaction and dissatisfaction for school counselors and those who left counseling? (6) What were the commonalities and differences between subjects on their scholastic aptitude, interest and personality tests?
