A convenience sampling method was employed. Data were collected using the Ahmadi Academic Satisfaction Questionnaire, the Minnesota Attitude Questionnaire on academic field and future career, and a demographic questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 19. Results are presented as mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009SD.
