Abstract

A survey of 97% of final year occupational therapy students at Cumberland College showed that their self concepts had become more androgynous since first year. Career commitment had increased but career status aspirations remained intermediate and most students planned to work part‐time during childrearing. Students' perception of their occupation changed markedly during training. Most were satisfied with their career choice but 29% said that they were likely to move to a related occupation. Desire to move was related to personality change. 1980 Occupational Therapy Australia Limited
