When the Class of 2010 takes its final curtain call this month, they will exit stage left to thunderous applause. Many on the Hanover Plain will sing their praises most vociferously. After all, as former College President John Sloan Dickey used to say at convocations, students are, in fact, "the very stuff of this institution" and "what [they] are, it will be." Of course, the same can also be said about staff and administrators at Dartmouth, and this year, thanks to deep budget cuts, the College has lost a good deal of its stuffing.

Meet Jess. Jess is working toward a major in comparative literature (French/philosophy) with a minor in theater and art history. Jess asks herself, "Which employers are seeking comp lit majors with minors in theater and art history? Is there some sort of list available in Career Services?"

The first thing you need to know about "corporate recruiting" is that it does not exist, at least by that name. Oh, sure, there is an entity which we in Career Services proudly call "on-campus recruiting" (or just plain "recruiting") but we don't use the term "corporate recruiting" because many of the employers who physically come on campus to recruit or participate in employer fairs aren't corporations.

It may strike some as rather presumptuous that Career Services would launch a Careers for the Common Good (CFCG) program, as we did last fall. Is the assumption, then, that any careers excluded are inherently evil? And why at Dartmouth? Why now?

Hey Jed,

A former Associate Director in Career Services swore that he had a magical chair in his office that instantly transformed students into would-be investment bankers or consultants. Both the chair and the Associate Director are now long gone but the alchemy remains: before our eyes, former premeds metamorphose into would-be lawyers, and would-be consultants begin career counseling with the disclaimer, "I'm not really interested in finance so what can you tell me about consulting?"

The choice of an occupation remains one of life's great mysteries. Somehow, after 22 years of "seemingly unprofitable meandering" (to use John Gardner's phrase), upon graduation one is expected to suddenly chart a clear course for the future. Well-meaning parents and relatives often complicate matters by trying to spur things along, forgetting or repressing the confusion that surrounded their own career choices many years ago.

There used to be a popular television show, "Truth or Consequences," in which game show contestants suffered the consequences of inappropriate choices. While there were prizes to be won and embarrassments to be endured, the stakes were relatively benign. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about students who misrepresent their achievements in applications for employment or graduate school.

Why Not The Best?" is the title of a book by former President Jimmy Carter; it is also the rallying cry for an increasing number of students who inquire about "best" lists when seeking employment or applying to graduate schools. And "Why Not The Best?" is certainly the operative phrase on the lips of hundreds of parents -- college-bound sons, daughters and U.S. News and World Reports in tow -- who visit the Hanover Plain each spring.

I didn't know Lester J. Heath III '68, but I wish I had. Heath, who died recently of a brain tumor, was the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Albany Ladder Company and First Chairman of the Vision of a Better World Foundation. Although Heath's untimely passing was tragic, it is his life that is worth remembering and celebrating. Les Heath would have been high on our list to invite to Career Services' "Putting Your Values To Work" series.
