Radio and Television - Career Guidance in1940 @WirelessMuseum

Uploaded September 2021 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago

Just prior to the US entry into World War 2, Vocational Guidance Films, Inc. released "Radio and Television" in its "Your Life Work Series". It gives a pretty good view of the state of the electronics industry in 1940 and is certainly better than any of the career guidance films that I saw in high school.
