“…The cycle of underrepresentation in graduate education programs would continue. Teachers are also known to play an important role in facilitating the aspirations of ethnic minority high school students (AAUW, 1992;McWhirter & Hackett, 1993;Pallone, Hurley, & Rickard, 1973). Counselors can provide teachers with practical suggestions, resources, and activities that facilitate the educational aspirations and attainment of ethnic minority students.…”

“…Unfortunately, absent fathers or fathers with unstable employment are relatively common in the Black community (Spitze & Waite, 1981). Indeed, Pallone, Hurley, and Rickard (1973) found that Black 11th and l2th graders considered their mother and persons they knew who had inspiring careers as most influential to their occupational expectations. Consequently, many young Black males may need to look up to other male role models.…”

Black American men are among the nation's most unemployed and underemployed groups (Leonard, 1985). The unemployment rate among Black Americans was 10.4% in 1995, as compared with 4.9% among White Americans, 9.3% among Hispanics, and 5.6% among all Americans (Table 644 in Bureau of the Census, 1997). In addition to racism (Brown & Ford, 1977), this situation may be partly explained by the educational attainment and vocational choices of Black males. Comparing Black and White men, Karweit (1977) found that Black men tend to have lower educational attainments, terminate formal

“…(Pallone et al 1970) More importantly, parents act (sometimes inadvertently) as ethnic influencers on what occupational routes children ultimately take. (Pallone et al 1973) Parents transfer both positive and negative ethnic attitudes toward children, influencing a child to direct himself/herself toward an occupation traditional to his/her ethnic group. (Erickson 1975) Parents also cause children to develop preconceived notions about which occupations children of other ethnic groups should direct themselves toward.…”

The development of ethnic and racial attitudes in children is a well-documented subject. At the same time, a great deal of research has been completed on the attitudes of children toward occupational orientation and the internal and external influences on career awareness.Nevertheless, information is lacking about the convergence of these two ideas or the effect of racial and ethnic attitudes on career preference and awareness.The pattern of ethnic attitude formation toward careers among young children can be explored, however, and how television influences these attitudes can be demonstrated. This influence can be used as a major tool for shaping young children's attitudes toward career preference. ATTITUDINAL INFLUENCERSParents have the greatest influence over children's attitudinal development during the early years of development (ages 0-12 years). This comes normally from our society's benevolent and egalitarian posture, for one of the most characteristic and impressive attributes of American parents is dedication to children. Parents will scheme, attend church, buy life insurance, move several times, and restrict much of their activity for the welfare of children. Divorces have been postponed and marriages kept intact because of children. American
