Abstract

In this study, a survey for 1,310 fishery high school students mainly in Kyusyu and Shikoku areas was conducted in the period from June to September 2011 in order to understand their occupational consciousness. The result is as follows. (1) As for the presence of occupation they want to enter, the ratio of students who have an occupation they want to enter increases as their grade in school advances. (2) As for the occupation they want to enter, a classification was made focusing on fishery workers, seamen, and flyers. Such students as being male, in navigation course, in cultivation course, from fishing village, from seashore, and with the opportunity to approach to ships show a significantly high ratio of wishing to become fishery workers. Also, such students as being male, first grader, in navigation course, in engineering course, from fishing village, with the opportunity to approach to ships, with more than two weeks' experience of boarding a ship, and with no experience of boarding a ship show a significantly high ratio of wishing to become seamen or flyers.
