Description
Summary:Undergraduate and graduate students enroll in rehabilitation counselor education programs with varying degrees of commitment to a career goal in the field. The career decision state (CDS) comprising certainty, satisfaction, and clarity is a snapshot of one’s career goals.

Implications for using CDS in the form of a brief questionnaire, in student orientation and ongoing advising, and in future research are discussed.
