Abstract
In this research, 40 students working in university-sponsored programs involving juvenile delinquents were asked to respond to a survey to determine whether their working with juveniles had influenced their career choices and major. Of the participants, 30 responded to a Web survey; 10 agreed to personal interviews. All of the students responded that working with the juveniles had made a definite effect on their university lives. For the majority, it validated their career choices so no change was made. Two students changed their majors in favor of working with youngsters; 1 student changed her career choice to not working with youngsters.
