This study examined the relation of career attitudes as measured by the Attitude scale of the Career Maturity Inventory (Crites, 1973) to age and various indexes of career progress for 158 college students. There were 103 women and 55 men in liberal arts majors, with a mean age of 21.64 years. Path analysis suggested that career attitudes matured with age and directly affected months employed during college (p < .01) and grade point average (GPA; p < .01) and through the mediation of GPA affected the occupational level of the students' jobs (p < .01). Discussion points out how the model clarifies the operation of career attitudes and supports targeting career development interventions at maturation of career attitudes.
