The main subject of this article is to consider about the vocational qualification in field of sociology. There were fewer analyses about the vocational qualification than an educational qualification until now. The vocational qualification is not only related to the personal social status formation but affecting the industrial structure itself. In reference to precedent studies, for instance R.Collins and P.Bourdieu, I considered vocational qualification by using data and theory, from new two viewpoints. Two viewpoints are "vocational qualification for occupational cohort" and "vocational qualification for nation". As a result, the occupational cohort fights for acquisition of own occupational prestige in society, and because the nation gives national qualifications to workers, it promotes stability of the industrial structure. At the same time, there is the vocational qualification system in the possibility to contribute to immobilization and reproduction of the hierarchy. In late years, by a change of the labor circumstances, the meaning of the vocational qualification is changing, too. The vocational qualification raises one's social status by getting it. But, it is changing into a thing acquiring it as skill proof for continuing with one's work.

American sociologist A.R.Hochschild put forward a new concept "emotional labor" in 1983. Emotional labor is the process of managing feelings and expressions to fulfill the emotional requirements of a job, and therefore it may bring self-estrangement caused by mental strain. The Study for emotional labor in Japan has tended to be in the field health care, especially nursing care. It is said that the emotional labor studies lacked for perspective of social structure. The tendency toward the specific field makes it difficult to generalize. Hereafter it is not only needed to research another type of labor, but to analyze the social structure creating the emotional job. The study for emotional labor has two tendencies. One is the negative studies on emotional labor, another is the positive studies on it. The negative studies follow the original concept of emotional labor. The positive studies focus on utilization of the skill of managing feelings with. The more the positive evaluation of the skill of managing feelings increases, the better the people with the skill of managing feelings be succesd in society. It consider the skill of managing feelings as "Cultural capital", there seems to be potentiall social inequality. So, the positive studies on emotional labor are considered cautiously.
