Mrs. Milne emphasized that Durham College graduates should assist young people entering high school to recognize recognize the need to be adequately prepared for the job market. "Explain to them that if their objective at the end of their formal education is to find employment they must not choose only subjects they find easy. They must not drop hard courses because doing so will leave them with fewer Options later on. You should tell them that sticking with a basic core of subjects including including English, Mathematics, Science and another language ensures to some extent that they haven't cut themselves out of a career opportunity when it comes time' for them to select their post secondary education." Mrs. Milne drew attention to the fact that the nature of women's participation in the : workforce has changed significantly significantly since the 50s. The rate of their involvement has accelerated beyond all pre-, dictions. "It is now estimated that their participation rate in the paid workforce for 1986, as initially projected by the Federal Government, has already been achieved. This two career family pattern will require changes in values. Recognition must be made of the fact that women need the freedom to actively move up in their careers, men the freedom to actively care for their children, and employers the freedom to expect as much from women as from men in terms of productivity, travel relocation and continuity continuity of employment. " Ruth Milne cautioned that there are those in our society today who pose a threat to the individual desire to excel, and the incentives of self-fulfillment, self-fulfillment, because they want distribution regardless of achievement. Instead of equality equality of opportunity they want equality of results.
