nseling the Youngng people have access to two networks of counselors to provide theation they need for career choices. The first is the formal network ofsional teachers and counselors at school. This group is frequentlylered to influence the allocation of students to courses and tracks inchool. Ironically, it considers itself helpless in the face of peer pres-parental pressure, and societal pressure to merely "get by."second network of counselors is the informal one of peers, parents,es, neighbors, and other people who serve as role models for stu-This group is a constant source of influence and information in a

Parents and families have shifted blame back to the schools forling information that is inaccurate, out-of-date, or delivered too late tohigh school students from the noncollege track, and college-bound

Its from the nonscience track.ders of Science have a special opportunity to contribute to the ef-ness of counseling of the young, both as informal counselors to ourlatives and friends and as formal or informal counselors to educatorshool board members. We know the importance of high school algebraometry for technical jobs that do not require a college degree. Wethe importance of four full years of high school mathematicsis to survive in freshman calculus. And we know the importance"hard" calculus sequence in college for careers in the sciences andering. Less well known is the requirement for the "soft" cal-sequence at the undergraduate level for careers in business and;ement and in economics. For instance, a recent survey of companiesng to recruit employees at a University of Maryland campus showedily 16 percent were looking for new employees without a calculus^ound; one-third were looking for at least a soft calculus sequence andLlf were looking for a hard calculus sequence in the undergraduate

:her, the high school mathematics filter has important implications forzing employment opportunities. A study of entering freshmen at thersity of Maryland in the fall of 1977 showed that 63 percent of whitead 3.5 years of precalculus high school mathematics, compared toI percent of white women, 27 percent of black men, and 19 percent ofwomen. Increasing employment opportunities for minorities andi clearly depends on providing them with maximal high school mathe-skills so that they will have access to the calculus sequence. Dif-es in achievement in mathematics represent a loss of human potentialI as ineffective utilization of scarce educational tax dollars.alizing access to high school mathematics skills will create a situation:h everyone wins: students and their families seeking to expand careerunities, colleges and universities seeking to expand opportunities forties and women, and employers seeking to meet the needs for morests and technicians.critical message for formal and informal counselors to share with theis that minimal competence means minimal job opportunities: keepptions open by maximizing your competence in mathematics. -LucYLLS, Consultant in Educational Research and Affirmative Action,'uclid Avenue, Berkeley, California 94708 X9) -O3zoent Manual, Spring 1978 (Office of Career Development, {University of Maryland, Col-k, 1978).
