WASHINGTON — A Bnai Brith
study indicates that the proportion
of Jewish youth who go to college
may be as high as 95 per cent, or
about twice that of the estimated
national average.
The study, conducted during
1968-69, also discloses that 77 per
cent of Jewish youth attain college
degrees.
These were among preliminary
findings reported at the annual
meeting of Bnai Brith's board of
governors.
The study, prepared by Bnai
Teen-age campers in the pio-
neer program live in separate
vilages in which the emphasis
is on outdoor living, projects,
extended canoe trips and cultural
excursions and activities.
Brith Vocational Service, is a
followup to a sampling made
eight years ago of 6,600 high
school sophomores, juniors and
seniors in 40 states and the Dis-
trict of Columbia to determine
the college and career plans of
Jewish youth.
The current study, polling one
()lit of every six from the first
study, showed that 5 per cent more
than the 90 per cent who had ex-
pected to attend college bad
actually gone.
The study was prepared by Dr.
S. Norman Feingold, BBVS na-
tional director; Sol Swendloff, di-
rector of program, planning and
evaluation of the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics; and Dr. Howard
Rosen, director of the Office of
Manpower Research of the U.S.
Department of Labor. It was con-
ducted among youths affiliated
with Jewish organizations and done
in cooperation with Bnai Brith
Women.
Among other findings:
Jewish youth, almost without
exception, have gone into the oc-
cupations they had planned for
when in high school. In the original
sampling, the most popular choice
among boys was engineering, fol-
lowed by medicine, business and
law; among girls, the preferred
occupations were education, social
work, fine arts, business and nurs-
ing.
About half said they were influ-
enced "very little or not at all" by
their parents in selecting a career.
Some 30 per cent were "con-
siderably or moderately influ-
enced" in their choice of college
by the number of Jewish stu-
dents or Jewish organization on
campus.
About 10 per cent said they had
met "discrimination or unpleasant-
ness" while in college because of
their religious beliefs.
Of the 60 per cent of the respon-
dents who were married when
questioned, slightly less than 10
per cent had intermarried. Among
the total of those married, two out
of three said they were members
of a synagogue or temple and
three out of four said they attend-
ed religious services.
In addition:
More than 14 per cent of the
total questioned had continued
some form of Jewish education
beyond high school.
One-third of the total had done
part-time work for a Jewish
agency or institution, primarily as
Hebrew and Sunday school teach-
ers, youth group leaders and camp
counselors.
About 30 per cent said they
would be willing to go to Israel for
a year or two after they had com-
pleted their educational and occu-
pational training.
