People make vocational choices for a variety of reasons-conscious and unconscious, rational and irrational, healthy and nonhealthy. This universalism is true for those who decide to enter any helping profession and, more specifically, for those who decide on a career of helping Deaf persons. Meadow (1981) noted that a hearing person's initial "missionary zeal" on entering the fields of working with Deaf people may productively fuel later accomplishments or may set the stage for eventual burnout.
