The purpose of this study is clarifying the problem of career education focused on the children's concern. The sample is third grade junior high school students and sixth grade elementary school students. Responses to question such as “What kind of work do you want to do when you glow up?” and “Why do you think that is what you want to do?” were analyzed. Analysis revealed the following points. 1) Most often girls and students with low academic ability wished for an occupation chosen “because I like it.” 2) Therefore, this reason will increase differences in career expectations by gender and may also function to justify withdrawal from academic selection. 3) Current career education that provides such a rationale has the potential to provide convenient excuse for children withdrawing from meritocratic selection based on academic performance.
