college since a much smaller per cent of them changed majors
compared to those who had not selected a major prior to
entrance into college work. He attributed this to better
preparation prior to college by those who had already
selected a major. However, he offered no support for his
apparent assumption that change of major or failure to com-
plete college work was related on a cause and effect basis
with ability to do the required work. This question seemed
reasonable: Whatever combination of phenomena which are
required for completion of college study were obviously
present in these subjects since they were graduates. Would
not most of these same subjects have completed their college
work in other majors, due to the presence of these phenomena?**
Note that Sparling (19) concluded from his study that
college students tend to make vocational decisions too early
and consequently made unrealistic choices of major. It
seems that he and Drasgow make gross generalizations which
are in direct conflict. Apparently lack of sufficient con-
trols of some unknown variables makes either of their con-
clusions of less than acceptable sophistication.
Nemoitin (17) presented a study comparing achievement
in class relative to student profession of interest in the
subject. Based on a five-point system, grades in the sub-
ject liked most and likewise the subject liked least were
compared to the grades of all other subjects combined.
