Synopsis for Superboy: "Superboy Hunts for a Job"

Clark Kent, unable to decide what he wants to do when he grows up (even when he has to write a paper for class on that subject), goes to Metropolis on his Easter vacation and tries work as a hotel busboy, an ice-cream salesman, and a ship's steward. In each instance, he finds that he has to become Superboy to take care of an emergency, that it endangers his job to do so, and that he keeps running into Daily Planet reporter Perry White. Realizing that White has the mobility and the power to visit trouble spots, Clark decides that he wants to become a reporter. He writes an essay on the subject, and is awarded the first-place prize for it by the guest of honor, Perry White, who has just been named editor of the Daily Planet.
