Abstract

This is a speech given by President Jay L. Nelson about the value of education - specifically the value of Trade School education based on statistical information about the value of higher education in relationship to the job market in the 1970s. The emphasis of his comments are on "where you can find tremendous opportunities for occupational success." Aimed at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints audience, the presentation ends with "your dream of financial security and success well being in a high school vocational class, a business school or a technical college or at some other institution which places emphasis on preparation for jobs rather than on academic degrees."
