The prolonged recession is apparently motivating young adults to pursue job stability, with the largest group in a recent online poll saying that "office worker" would be their ideal job.
That category was chosen by 22.8 percent of people aged 19 or 20 in the survey by Infoseek Japan K.K. during the yearend and New Year's holidays that targeted people celebrating coming-of-age ceremonies Monday. There were 246 respondents.
The second most popular career would be "working as a professional," including a teacher or a doctor, chosen by 22.4 percent, followed by "becoming an entrepreneur," selected by 20.7 percent.
