The early stages of career development are studied for young men who received college training for a variety of professional occupations. In order to identify some of the factors associated with the choice of a college curriculum and to trace the pattern of career development during the first few years after graduation from college. The sample is too small to yield statistically reliable results, but the intensive study of individual case histories covering the four years provides insights into factors affecting career development that are not now available from other sources.

The analysis of incomes for men and women 30-44 years old in 1967 presented in this paper shows that by considering only educational level, occupational status, and work experience, the income level for women can be predicted more confidently than for men. Women's pay is commensurate with effort and education, but incomes tend to cluster around the average rather than varying widely around the regression line. The absence of marked variation means that most women were receiving "just average" wages, regardless of training, job status, or experience. The income distribution of men, on the other hand, tends to be skewed toward higher income levels.
