Excerpt from Business EmploymentsWhen a young man faces the world and has to make his choice of a way to earn his living, three roads open before him, broadly speaking. The first is business, with its many lines. The second is that of the indus tries, which include all skilled and unskilled labor in the manufacturing and building trades and in agriculture. The third is that of the professions, such as engineering, teaching, law, medicine, journalism, and the fine arts.This volume deals with the first of these divisions. It discusses the Opportunities for employment in business.But business itself divides into three branches Manu facture, Trade, and Finance. Manufacturing has a busi ness side which is just as important as the actual work of making things. Trade is buying and selling. Store keeping, wholesale and retail, is another name for it.
