Special to the Jewish News
el Levine remembers
being "bashed around"
when he began working
in the field of pediatric medicine.
One example: He completed a
research project for a senior doctor
who took all the credit.
Levine, now director of the
Clinical Center for the Study of
Development and Learning at the
University of North Carolina
School of Medicine, soon realized
that his experience was not isolat-
ed. In the decades since, he found
that this research practice almost
has become an initiation rite into
the scientific professions.
The doctor gives many exam-
ples of the trying treatment of
career newcomers in his latest
book, Ready Or Not, Here Life
Comes (Simon & Schuster; $26),
and he has many suggestions for
preparing young people to survive
successfully as beginners in the
workforce.
"I decided to write the book
after watching a lot of my patients
grow up and noticing that some of
them were having hard times
establishing themselves in careers
— either deciding what they want-
ed to do with their lives or know-
ing what they wanted to do but
having a lot of trouble starting at
the bottom," says Levine, 65, whose
previous books include A Mind at
a Time and The Myth of Laziness.
"I give a lot of examples of the
way people get bashed around
early in careers, and nobody pre-
fin
pares them for that. There are set-
backs, injustices and impasses kids
ought to be reading about — not
to scare them but to prepare
them:'
Levine's book, exploring what he
terms "work-life unreadiness" and
describing issues being faced as
recent graduates hunt and find
their first professional jobs, points
out four critical areas he believes
need more attention early on: per-
sonal insight, interpretation of
expectations and opportunities,
analytical tools and interpersonal
skills.
With a target audience of people
in their 20s as well as parents and
school policy makers, Levine
explains why educational pro-
grams ought to focus on students'
strengths instead of a combination
of general subjects and why stu-
dents need to understand office
politics before being placed in the
midst of it all.
Jewish Work Ethic
When you're a kid, expectations
are clearly spelled out for you," says
Levine, a professor of pediatrics
and founder of All Kinds of Minds,
a nonprofit institute for the study
of differences in learning. "There
are frameworks and predictability
for [the very young], and it's clear
what they're supposed to be doing
at any given moment and how
they're going to get rewarded.
"Then, all of a sudden, they get
into careers, and they have to start
showing initiative. They have to
start building some of their own
"
