“…Another frequently cited future-research topic was the impact of cultural and racial identity (Bauman & Gerstein, 1998;Hartung et al, 1998;Lonborg & Phillips, 1996). Other research recommendations included a call to examine differences in the career decision-making process (Luzzo & Jenkins-Smith, 1998), career decision-making self-efficacy (Peterson & del Mas, 1998), career decision-making attribution style (Luzzo, James, & Luna, 1996;Luzzo & Jenkins-Smith, 19981, career aspirations (Chung, Loeb, & Gonzo, 1996), factors affecting career development (Bauman & Gerstein, 1998;Nevi11 & Calvert, 1996;Rounds & Tracey, 1996;Schmitt-Rodermund & Silbereisen, 1998), retention (Patterson-Stewart, Ritchie, & Saunders, 1997), crosscultural research of the data-ideas dimension , choice restrictions (Jackson & Neville, 1998), effects of multiple status (Eby & Russell, 1998), international influences (Leong, Hesketh, & Savickas, 1998), and the impact of immigration (Sagy & Liberman, 1997).

A crystal ball certainly would have been useful when I took on the task of predicting and identifying the direction of 2lst-century research and practice in the career development of college students. Given that crystalball gazing, tarot cards, I Ching, or an appointment with a psychic might be frowned on by more scientifically minded readers, I have chosen, instead, to follow my academic training and turn to the literature for predictions.As Spokane (1991) stated, "Attempts to fortify the theories with practical implications are more common now than they have been in many years, and more people are now both theorists and practitioners than was once the case'' (p. xii). It is my hope that this chapter will inspire career counseling professionals to continue the trend of merging theory and practice. With the latest technological advances in communications, collaboration between practitioners and researchers is possible almost anywhere in the world. In a circular fashion, research can add to the efficacy of interventions, and practitioners can influence the directions of future research in the career development literature.The literature sources for this chapter consisted of journal articles published from 1996 through 1998. The process was simple. By collecting all the sentences typically found toward the end of each article (e.g., "Future research should . . ."), I began to see patterns, trends, or directions.Gaps in the proposed research became apparent as well. This chapter describes the data collection process for and the content of my collection of future-research sentences. Bronfenbrenner (1993) described the sentiments of undertaking a project like this when he wrote, Whether the effort brings us closer to heaven or hell remains to be seen. Perhaps the best I can hope for is to be left in limbo; by which I mean that the reader will reserve judgment, pending further developments. (p. 3) 311
