70% of students don't want same career as parents

This certainly shouldn't be a surprise, and doubtful will be seen as a
wakeup call, if the Japanese media even give time to the story. One of
the reasons quoted by the story was that "... their parents' jobs
seemed boring, and involved excessively long hours." I read into that
kids who would like to have a parent that spends time with them. Too
bad that ain't gonna happen.
