Are Receiving Good Salaries


A masters or a doctors degree adds
S1I40 TO the beginning salary of
college graduate according to fig
ures from 1923 graduates of the Wis
consin College Of Agriculture.
More and more institutions need
ing highly trained technical person
mel are requiring a more compre-
hensive training for their employ
ees than that which is possible for
the regular graduate to secure, states
Dean H. L. Russell of the Wisconsin
College Of Agriculture. During the
past year twenty-five graduates who
have completed the work for de-
gree of doctor Of philosophy have
secured positions ranging in salary
from $1,000 year upward In some
cases they have gone into positions
Of large responsibility at very ex-
cellent salaries.
The agrculturally trained stadent
who applies himself diligently dur
ing his training period at college
finds that a good paying position IS
waiting for him. Then, too, the four
year course in agriculture, embrace
ing as it does training so many of
the basic subjects that constitute the
foundation Of a general education,
gives good preparation for wide
diversity Of occupations. Agriculture
is intimately related to the life of
so many people. Dean Russell be-
lieves. that a general knowledge Of
the subject rarely comes amiss in
this work-a-day world
Pointing to the many fields open
to the agricultural graduate, Russell
sees fields in many aspects of bust,
ness, banking, transportation, mar
keting, publishing and the like all of
which are closely related to the OPP,
erations Of the farm. The man who
engages himself in these fields finds
himself constantly thrown into con-
tact with agricultural problems. us
ually of an economic character. This
applies almost universally to those
who live in the towns and smaller
cities that are dependent in the main
on business with the farm as a source
Of livelihood 1t is equally true Of
many activities even in the larger
cities, Dean Russell maintains.
Peering into the word of business
the Dean finds that the magnitude
of the farm and its many operations
is such today, even in this so-called
industrial age, that great deal Of
business in the large centers is
directly or indirectly dependent on
the success of farm operations trib-
utary to such eenters Agricultural
college graduates have already gone
into more than l65 different lines
of work
