TL;DR: The National Vocational Guidance Association (NVGA) celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of a multi-authored volume of rich and varied content (Borow, 1964) with the title Man in a World at Work as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: a Research Professor at the University of Florida. The fiftieth anniversary of the National Vocational Guidance Association, North America’s oldest organization dedicated to educational and vocational guidance, was celebrated by the publication of a multi-authored volume of rich and varied content (Borow, 1964). It proved to be a landmark in more ways than one, for it not only marked the fiftieth milestone in a major educational and social movement, but it signaled the beginning of the end of the use of male-oriented terminology. Its title was Man in a World at Work. It also marked the beginning of the end of NVGA’s seemingly sharp focus on work, for the next decennial volume (Herr, 1974) was called Vocational Guidance and Human Development, and the volume now appearing (Gysbers and Associates, 1984) is entitled Designing Careers: Counseling to Enhance Educators, Work, and Leisure. The focus is on humans rather than (as some would read the 1964 title) on men alone, and it is on life and careers rather than on work or vocations alone. ----
