This paper examined factors that lead university students to pursue a teaching career by focusing on their family backgrounds, A questionnaire survey was conducted among students in 18 universities to evaluate their father's profession, level of education in family, experience of lesson (e.g. sports, cramming school) in childhood and their outlook of the future. The results show that among the students pursuing teaching, the majority of their fathers are white-•collared businessmen, and less blue-collared businessmen and farmers. Further, these students have a stronger cultural and educational experience in their family. In addition, male students tend toward sports, while female students take music lessons in their childhood. On investigating the valuable factor in their future, it is found that students pursuing teaching are less status-oriented and more family-oriented. Finally, the author examined which factors affect the aspiration toward a teaching career from the above mentioned variables. Using multinomial logistic regression, variables such as level of education in the family, experience in sports and music, and family-orientation, raises the possibility of a student aspiring to be a teacher. In addition, it is inferred that family-oriented disposition of would-be teachers is related to "familism”, which is regarded as a tradition in teachers' culture.
