reliable information at the time the earlier choices were
made. He seemed to assume that a proper and stable choice
can be determined at an age earlier than that of high-school
seniors if accurate information is available*
This conclusion is not well supported by the findings
of Lehman and Witty (16). They determined that although
vocational choices are made at an early age, changes tend to
occur as the youth approaches maturity. This study included
young people in school between the ages of eight and one-
half years and eighteen and one-half years. No information
is offered explaining the basis of early choices nor why
changes were later made.
Another study concerning the age at which vocational
choice was made was conducted by Drasgow (7). Studying
college graduates he found that 78 per cent of them had
selected a major prior to entering college. During their
college career 35 per cent of this group changed their major.
From these figures it can be deducted that more than 50 per
cent of these college graduates selected their vocation
after beginning their college work. It was concluded by
Drasgow that selection of major at an early age is desirable
since the student better prepares himself for specialized
study toward that specific vocation in college. However,
there was no evidence presented to indicate that the chosen
majors were actually best suited to each individual's talents
