In a recent survey by Kuraray, it was found that the top career choice for elementary school students starting this year is to work in a bakery or cake shop. The survey, conducted over several months and gathering responses from 4,000 children and 4,000 parents, highlights the aspirations of young children at the beginning of their academic journey. For more than 20 years, Kuraray has been monitoring the dreams of children and their parents as they purchase their first school bags. This data provides insight into the evolving interests and goals of children entering the education system.
