The goal of this study was to discover the Career Decision Self-Efficacy needs of the pre-service teacher population in order to identify possible interventions. A demographic questionnaire and the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSE) consisting of Total Score, and five subscales: Self-Appraisal, Occupational Information, Goal Selection, Planning, and Problem Solving were used to assess 195 students in two junior level college classes that are required for a degree in Teacher Education. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the pre-service teachers. The data were analyzed using t tests and one-way ANOVAs. In five demographics: gender, age, financial source of income, whether the participants have children or not, and GPA, statistical significance was determined between the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale scores and these demographics.
