Students should not use their aspirations for future life as the sole guide in making daily decisions at college, Dean Bundy asserted last night.
Speaking in the Union in the first of a series of career conferences, Bundy told students not to select courses, extra-curricular activities, or even fields of concentration "to make it look good for a job. The decisions of the individual student must mean something to himself, not to someone else," he added.
Except for careers related to the natural sciences, no specific pre-professional training can be flatly recommended for a business or profession, Bundy stated.

He added that a career decision need not be decided until the senior year.
