Abstract	Most (77%) of a sample of some 300 undergraduate psychology majors indicated plans for a Master's or PhD degree, and most expressed high valuation of a job with a Bachelor's degree. Respondents then received a brief career intervention via a take-home booklet containing information about admission to graduate school, and features of jobs with a baccalaureate. Subsequently, regarding graduate school, 30% of the students reported less interest, 64% indicated reduced estimates of own chances of admission, 49% raised estimates of prerequisite GPA, and 51% lowered estimates of percent applicants accepted. There were suggestions of coherence in changed views: for example, change scores for interest in-, and own chances for graduate school correlated 0.26. Attitudes toward jobs were generally unaffected. We offer our brief psychology career intervention as a general model for research and advising in other non-preprofessional undergraduate programs.
