HE SAID WE WERE CREATURES OF CIRCUMSTANCE. A WAR ON WE AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO THE FORCES.
IF THERE WAS IF THERE WAS NOT.
WE LOOKED AROUND TO SEE WHAT CONNECTIONS WE HAD IN BUSINESS OR THE PROFESSIONS.
+WE WERE VERY LUCKY IF OUR PARENTS WERE ABLE TO AFFORD POST- SECONDARY EDUCATION OF SOME KIND OR ANOTHER WHICH OPENED UP FURTHER AVENUES.+
MR HAYE SAID ALL OF THAT SEEMED TO HAVE CHANGED TODAY. +YOUR TEACHERS ARE VERY MUCH MORE CONSCIOUS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF CAREERS GUIDANCE, AND EXHIBITIONS LIKE THIS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND.+
THE DIRECTOR SAID STUDENTS OF THE BAPTIST COLLEGE WOULD SEE FROM TODAY'S EXHIBITION SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.
+THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT IS PERHAPS THE BIGGEST EMPLOYER IN TOWN AND GRADUATES OF BAPTIST WOULD DO WELL TO ENQUIRE CLOSELY AT THE VARIOUS ATTRACTIVE STANDS IN THIS HALL, WHERE OFFICERS OF THE DEPARTMENTS CONCERNED WILL BE ONLY TOO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.+
MR HAYE ALSO INVITED BAPTIST STUDENTS TO CONSIDER TEACHING AS A CAREER.
+IN FACT, LAST YEAR ABOUT 40 PER CENT OF THE GRADUATES DID JUST THIS, GOING INTO OUR AIDED AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS AS PERMITTED TEACHERS, THERE TO DISCOVER WHETHER OR NOT THEY WISHED TO REMAIN IN THE PROFESSION.+
WHEN THE BAPTIST COLLEGE PRODUCES GRADUATES WITH RECOGNISED UNIVERSITY DEGREES THE FRONT DOOR OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WILL BE OPEN TO THEM.
+ LOOK FORWARD TO THAT DAY, HE SAID.
