Women who intend to get married in a few years, or who want to make their parents THINK they're getting married in a few years. It's not especially challenging (just repetitive and risky with the Evil Men), there's not much chance at promotion (so no overtime), the women get to experience some economical freedom, and of course you get to work in a big shiny office. There are other jobs you get in between college and marriage (manga artist comes to mind. Really.), OL just happens to be the most glamourous one I know about. Which brings us back to why high school kids would want to be OLs.
