One dominating factor emerges in the description of jobs to be avoided — routine work. Having studied for several years to learn how to solve problems and how to apply analytical tools to business decisions, the business graduate will be dissatisfied with employment that frustrate the need to fulfil this challenge. Even the prospect of a high salary does not motivate the graduate to choose easy, unimaginative work. Most routine jobs which are valuable to the community, such as civil service, do not appeal to the B.C.A. graduate in business administration. The opportunity for personal autonomy in decision-making is rated highly and jobs which feature purely administrative duties closely tied to company rules and regulations are rated as undesirable. Close supervision by superiors is also seen as a negative factor in a job.
