A STUDY OF THE ACCOUNTING GRADUATES OF FIVE SELECTED ALABAMA SCHOOLS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, 1946-1955.
Abstract
The article focuses on a study of the accounting graduates of five selected Albama schools of higher education from 1946 to 1955. The purpose of the study was to obtain occupational data and opinions relative to their training from graduates who have majored or concentrated in accounting. Those accounting majors who graduated during the ten years 1946 to 1955 from the 5 institutions of higher education have been included in the study. Questionnaires were mailed to 1,152 accounting majors, all those whose addresses were known. The data collected are grouped into personal data, occupational data, non-occupational activities, opinions and comments by respondents. The characteristics of the entire group of respondents are discussed as well as the differences within the group. Roughly three-fourths respondents were from Alabama high schools. Approximately three-fourths of the respondents were first employed after graduation in accounting positions and, at the time the questionnaire was completed, about the same numbers of them were still employed in accounting positions, or jobs closely associated therewith.
