Dai-ichi Life Insurance Co., Ltd., a major life insurance company, found that scholars are the second largest boys in the profession that they want to get when they grow up, according to a questionnaire targeting nursery schools, kindergartens and elementary school students nationwide. It seems that attention has increased due to the influence of the Japanese Nobel Prize award that has continued since 2.

 The survey targeted 1,100 nursery school, kindergarten children and elementary school students nationwide, and asked them to fill in their dream profession on the application form for the summer vacation children's mini-composition contest held from July to September 2016.

 According to the report, the top boys were 12.1% of soccer players, maintaining the number one position for seven consecutive years.Baseball players, who have been competing for the top with soccer players for a long time, fell to 7th place at 1%, and it seems that children's popularity is leaning toward soccer in the two major sports.
2% of scholars and doctors came in second.Although it was ranked 5.5th in the previous year's survey, it has returned to 8nd place due to the succession of Japanese Nobel laureates.Since Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine last year, it may be even more noticeable.

 The top girl is a food shop with 15.5%. It became the first place for 20 consecutive years. The second place is nursery school / kindergarten teachers with 1%, and the third place is school teachers with 2%.The popular profession of girls has remained unchanged since the beginning of the 7.1st century.Dance teachers, dancers, and ballerinas came in 3th place, probably because dance became compulsory in junior high school and became more familiar.

 The 5 best men and women are as follows.
【boy】
1 Soccer player (12.1%)
2 Scholar / Doctor (5.5%)
3 Police officers and detectives (5.3%)
