Highlighting the problem of girls leaving school without thinking about further education or training, this film’s message appears to be: don’t be tempted by the short-term rewards of unskilled jobs, because a career will serve you better in the long run.
The whole production has been designed to appeal to the target market, i.e. teenage girls. It has a 60s soundtrack and animation style, and the girl is wearing knee-length boots, micro-dress and headband. However, the voiceover – a middle-aged man – addresses the parents rather than girls themselves, suggesting that some parents also needed convincing of the value of long-term goals for their daughters.
