n may be a concern, and 
employment in some fields is concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found 
only in large cities. On the other hand, many jobs such as hostels, law education, and retail sales are 
found in all regions of the country. If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its 
starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay 
substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission. 
 Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some jobs evoke positive or 
negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a 
plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have 
merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without 
sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. 
 Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills 
that may point the way to new opportunities. The choices you make today need not be your final one.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32

 president of the United States, was from a wealthy, well-known 
family. As a child, he attended private school, had private tutors, and traveled with his parents to 
Europe. He attended Harvard University, and afterwards studied law. At age 39, Roosevelt suddenly 
developed polio, a disease that left him without the full use of his legs for the rest of his life. Even 
though the worst of his illness, he continued his life in politics. In 1924, he appeared at the Democratic 
National Convention to nominate Al Smith for president, and eight years after that he was nominated 
for the same office. Roosevelt was elected to the presidency during the Great Depression of the 1930s, 
at a time when more then 5,000 banks had failed and thousands of people were out of work. Roosevelt 
took action. First he declared a bank holiday that closed all the banks so that no more could fail; then 
he reopened the banks little by little with government support. Roosevelt believed in using the full 
power of government to help what he called the “forgotten people”. And it was these workers, the 
wage earners, who felt the strongest affection toward Roosevelt. There were others, however, who felt 
that Roosevelt’s policies were destroying the American systems of government, and they opposed him 
in the same intense way that others admired him. 
In 1940, the Democrats nominated Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term. No president in 
American history had ever served three terms, but Roosevelt felt an obligation to quit while the United 
States entry into World War II was looming in the future. He accepted the nomination and went to an 
easy victory.
