You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But
39、there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgement. We can call t
40、hese people generalists. And these generalists are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other peoples work, to begin it and judge it. The specialist understands one field
41、; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a trained man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist - and especially the administrator deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an educated man;
42、and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different propor
43、tions. It is your task to find out, during our training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly. Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you-but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become s
44、uspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you should not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee. (分数:1.00)(1).There is an increasing demand for _.(分数:0.20)A.people whose job is to organize other peoples workB.generalists whose educational background is either technical or professionalC.all round people in their own fieldsD.generalists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others(2).The specialist i
