Abstract: Traditional theories of career development and career choice have been useful for the typical middle class male. Career counselors must improvise, however, when serving clients who are less advantaged, minorities, handicapped, unemployed adults, or women. A model of career choice for women and men developed by Helen Astin focuses on the need to look beyond the status quo and to explore not only training and employment issues, but also issues in various support systems: financial aid, employment policies relevant to women and minorities, childcare options, and changing social norms with respect to family and work roles. Astin's model calls attention to a wide range of opportunities relevant to career choice. Different components in career development theory are relevant for different age groups and different individuals. These components need to be identified, empirically verified, and routinely addressed in career counseling. Researchers must begin to identify key constructs within the structure of opportunity for different age groups and individuals and to provide evidence of the relative strength of the influence of these constructs on socialization, work expectations, and work behavior. This will require longitudinal studies with subjects of various ethnic and socioeconomic groups. Counselors must begin to incorporate some of these considerations into their career counseling practices. (NRB)
