While reading Nikkei Business<\/a>\u00a0, I encountered a university graduates job hunting survey done by Disco<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

My takes from the survey:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Japanese university graduates prefer to work for non-manufacturing companies<\/li>\n
  2. They show very little interest in society, but focus more on themselves<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The following list<\/a>\u00a0shows the ranking of companies as perceived by the university graduates. While #1 is Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ bank, actually, the top 5 are banks and insurance companies, 6 and 7 are ANA and JAL (respectively) while the first manufacturing company is Suntory at #8. \u00a0List continues with more financial companies, trade companies with Toyota at #9, Kirin at #14, Shiseido #17.<\/p>\n

    I personally find it troubling that Japanese young graduates prefer to work for financial and insurance companies which do not create nor manufacture. Moreover, most of these companies only\u00a0active in Japan.<\/p>\n

    Looking at other aspects of the survey, when asked “what is the purpose of work”, the students preferred “just to live” over “pursue a dream”, “for myself” rather than “for society”.<\/p>\n

    76% do not consider changing jobs, only 27% expressed interest working outside Japan. 42% have no interest in personal success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
