A questionnaire survey by DISCO (President Masao Shindome, Tokyo), who runs the university admission support site "Caritas Advancement", says that 2019% of third-year university students who are planning to graduate in March 3 want to advance their careers by changing jobs. I found out.It has become clear again that expectations for lifetime employment, which is the highest in the last 3 years and works for one company until retirement age, are gradually being lost.

 調査は1月1日から10日まで、2019年3月卒業予定の大学3年生と大学院修士課程1年生(理系のみ)計1,028人(文系男子338人、文系女子273人、理系男子286人、理系女子131人)からインターネットで回答を得た。

 According to the report, 1% of the respondents who answered "I want to work at one company until retirement age" in the career plan after employment was 1.5%, which is 48.2 points less than the previous year, and the survey of the past 12 years revealed the global financial crisis in 2008. It was the second lowest number after 45.6% of the year.
1.5% answered that they would like to improve their career by changing jobs, 36.6 points more than the previous year, and 0.8% answered that they would like to start a business or become independent after working for a company to some extent. I went up.Summing up these two answers, it became clear that more than 6.5% are looking to change jobs, start a business, or become independent even before job hunting.

 In particular, 42.6% of liberal arts boys and 37.4% of science boys expect to change jobs in the future, and it can be said that the expectations for Japanese-style lifetime employment are gradually diminishing among students.
