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. Rodney Ian.
