For postwar careers Mr. Pollack foresees that science will offer as many opportunities as nearly any field. Considering each of four major divisions of science--chemistry, physics, biology and geology--he points out the various branches and industries which can employ scientists. To indicate but briefly the variety, there are for example plastics, synthetic rubber and textiles in chemistry; electronics, glass, meteorology and aviation in physics; medicine, tree surgery and sanitation in biology; and.prospecting for minerals and petroleum in geology. The scientist is offered three main types of work--the making of tests and maintaining of controls in already established processes and techniques, research looking to the betterment of those techniques or the development of entirely new processes or products, and teaching to enable coming generations to learn the techniques developed in the past. The author points out specific tasks that might fall to the beginning scientist and suggests as well various research problems that await solution. Some of the traits necessary for a scientific career are indicated and mention is made of the not inconsequential matter of the pay envelope. Nume
