Abstract	College students' level of interest in volunteering for eight campus organizations was compared with their foremost educational objective (career orientation versus personal development orientation). A random sample of 858 entering students at a large eastern public university was administered the University New Student Census, which included a question about educational objectives, and the Campus Involvement Interest Survey, a survey of interest in volunteer opportunities by level of compensation. Results showed that career-oriented students (a majority of the students) were generally less interested in volunteer opportunities than their personal development-oriented counterparts. Students undecided concerning career goals appeared to be the least interested in volunteering. The paper discusses the apparent disregard of opportunities for career exploration by some students and interventions to increase interest in volunteering. Includes 12 references. (JDD)
