After fitting the Protestant ministry to a model of Papanek's "two-person career, " this paper utilizes data from a survey of 448 ministers' wives to examine hypotheses relating to some of Papanek's contentions. As expected, respondents showed a high acceptance of the principle of vicarious achievement—fulfillment through the husband and his work. Further, higher rates of participation in ministry-related activities were accompanied by lessening rates of participation in the work force, thus supporting the notion of occupational "derailment." However, the hypothesis that the educational system socialized women into the vicarious achievement of the two-person career was not supported and a more complex analysis of the functions of higher education is suggested
