SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1939.

Are you happy

in your work?

HOW many people really like their jobs?

You don't find many statistics about this problem. Some indication,, though, is given in the answers to a question- naire that was recently sent to 500 Americans who graduated from Harvard University twenty-seven years ago,

Here were 500 middle-aged men, with university education, setting down on paper the results of almost a lifetime's work.

Had they been successful? Were they content? Would they like to have their life all over again?

Look at the answers:-

Forty-five per cent of those men confessed they were not doing the jobs they had chosen at the beginning of their carcer.

Twenty-five per cent. sald they wished they were doing something else. They were not satiafled with their jobs. Work had become dull- a day-to-day routine.

Among those 500

American | had to confess, when they were more graduates there were juisi three than fifty years old, hey were in classes who sermed content--the the wrong jobs. farmers, the teachers and the doc- tors.

NOW, every summer more

than 30,000 boys and girls In Britain leave elementary schools to start the search for a career.

For most of them it is probable that their first jobs will be unsulta- ble. They will move to another

firm in the same line of business; then change again when the novelty of the new job has worn off.

And in ten years many of them

Mrs. Mungrulkar stated that in 1933 her husband returned to India promising to send for her later, but he fulled to do so. In 1935 he mar-

It needs strength of mind then to turn to on entirely new line of work.

Nobody likes to learn the ins-and- outs of a calling for ten years and then scrop that experience to start as a beginner somewhere else.

20,000,000 people at work in Britain. If the percentage of people unhap; y in their jobs is the same as that among those American university men it means that 5,000,- 000 people would like to change their work for something different.

Five million worried people-here is a problem which will have to be investigated properly some day. A vast amount of effort and energy is being wasted. You can't put down the loss in terms of pounds, shillings and pence.

But last year Sir Farquhar Buz- zard, one of the King's Physicians, made an estimate that at least 10,- 000,000 weeks of working time are lost each year because of nervous troubles.

And one very effective way to make your nerves jittery is to work day after day when your interest isn't in your job.
