| Abstract: | Student essays, a component of the progression to the human service major at a southeastern university, were analyzed by the researchers to identify motivations for pursuing a major in human services. Four major themes emerged from multiple readings of the essays: the self, personal experiences, goals, and program/curriculum. Findings are consistent with current career development theories. Two subthemes unique to these participants were religion and working with individuals who are deaf. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
