Abstract
The research literature is rather replete with studies concerning the typical or average college undergraduate, but very little effort or attention has been directed toward his counterpart, the evening student. Therefore, in the present study an attempt was made to obtain a better understanding of the evening student, his motivations, values, anxieties, and aspirations. Specifically, the present study examined the relationship of anxiety, self-concept, values, and aspirations to academic achievement and career choice among students enrolled in an evening college.Keywords
