Weaver Gamecock Staff Writer Career planning officials have denied a complaint by a USC graduate that students are not advised well enough concerning post-graduation employment. Terry Corcoran, a graduate with a bachelor's degree in political science, said he believes that the counseling programs offered at USC are nothing more than a 4'lead-on public relations type thing." He said, "They string kids along. It s always On, you can get a job at the State Department.' This is a myth they keep perpetrating. A young person 18 or 19 years old can easily get their imagination fired up." THE PROBLEM of finding a career related to a bachlor's degree of Liberal Arts is probably a little more difficult than with any other major, according to Linda Salani, director of career planning. Salani said, "College students today are going into a highly competitive market. To make yourself distinctive, you have to do some serious planning." "We recognize that Liberal Arts is one of the most difficult areas because they're not careerspecific. But we still believe that with planning these degrees do offer good entry-level possibilities. For that reason, we've developed an individual career planning office for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences."

I Alley said, "Employment op- ; portunities directly related to most of our majors with a bachelor's degre are going to be somewhat limited. We recognize that, and this office was established to make our degrees more marketable. ALLEY AGREED with Salani that a major disadvantage of graduates with Liberal Arts degrees is that the training they receive is not directed toward a specific occupation. Corcoran, now employed as a signmaker with the Richland County Public Works Department, said, "A political science degree is great for helping you understand Doonesbury. But that's about it." Corcoran didn't get into another major besides political science because he said by the time he realized there were no job oprxnrfntiifiAo in fhn fttffclr-J if urAliM pVi llilllt&^O lil 11IC A IVlVi, It TTVU1M have meant staying longer in school than he had planned. Having worked as a bricklayer, a dispatcher for the sheriff's department, a movie theater operator, and a car wash attendant since his graduation, Corcoran said he doesn't really feel any bitterness toward the career counselors at USC. He commented, "You can't really expect the university not to promote their own departments. It would be like a used car salesman telline a customer he has a lot full of lemons."
