Project BIG, the career night, will be held at Maine West in the spectator gym on the evening of March 22 from 7‑10 p.m. The annual event is held for all interested students of Maine Township District 205.

The selection of career areas will be left to the Occupations Selection Sub‑Committee, according to Mr. Wayne Rosenquist, director of Guidance. Members of this committee are Mr. Mark Mattson, Art instructor; Mr. Rosenquist, coordinator of the event; Cindy Atkinson; Dave Wenz; Cheryl Kueker; and Mr. James Killam, Guidance counselor.

Other members include Brock Akers; Mr. Elwood Hughes, Business Education instructor; Mr. Robert Kuite, Maine West Music Department chairman, and Mr. Rolland Wolfe; Diversified Occupations instructor.

Some of the fields include jobs that require a limited amount of education, such as factory occupations, while others involve a great amount of preparatory work such as physicians and dentists.

Over 100 fields will be represented - among them acting, airline pilots and stewardesses, art, banking, chemistry,

jewelry, journalism, law, mortician, plastics, postal service, psychology, radio and T.V., social work, and zoology.

There is also a special section devoted to opportunities for women including such fields as engineering and journalism. Qualified persons will be on hand to discuss the various opportunities in each field with the students.

The purpose of this event is to give students the opportunity to talk with people who are employed in the various fields in which the students show an interest. Last year over 3,000 parents and students attended.

Everyone at one time or another is interested in a career that pays well. No matter what it is in, everybody wants a job they enjoy doing, not one they have to do. The only way to insure a good career is by finding out how to prepare for it now.

For college‑bound students, Project BIG is an ideal opportunity to find out what kind of education will be required and how much. For those who have not decided on a career as yet, Project BIG is a good time to learn of the careers available.
