Careers for the Coming Men

Whitelaw Reid

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The world is always in need of young men of ability, endeavor and energy, above all of pluck; young men who will fight to the last gasp, snatching victory out of the very jaws of defeat. But, as has been said, these at tributes arc of no avail if they be misdirected, and too often misdirection it is that is the primal cause of that condition of affairs so comprehensively described as the overcrowding of the professions. Many a young man is starving as a lawyer, physician, or journalist, who might be earning a handsome competence as an engineer, electrician, perchance as a farmer. Or, if he has em braced the calling for which he is by nature best fitted, it may be that he has, through ignorance, neglected the rudiments that spell success. These rudiments, of course, cannot be learned as can reading, writing, or arithmetic, but once grasped and carefully tended they will force a man onward and upward year by year, so long as he is true to his calling and true to himself.
