Speaking for myself, I could not wait. None of the pressures of school, with homework and deadlines. Just straight nine to five, and then on to your real life.
Or so I thought. Once ensconced in the work force it became a "grind."
Just look at the careers girls had to choose from. My younger self might have opted for ballet, but I opted for the one in the middle, the librarian. After all, I do wear glasses.
As much as nursing was in my blood, thanks to my mother and sister, I could not deal with bodily fluids, pricking someone with a needle, or advanced math and science. So, maybe I did make the right choice after all.
Girls today have so many options. Make the right choices, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And make sure to have a life after work. Bag a husband!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to be a stenographer. I wasn’t even sure what that was, I just thought it sounded sophisticated!!!
Victoria, I first heard of the word stenographer in a "Blondie" comic book. I too
thought it was sophisticated. My early career aspirations were an artist--which
I sort of became, a hat check girl, and to work in an office writing comedy, like
on "The Dick Van Dyke" show.
