In a recent survey conducted among Japanese primary school students, it emerged that the most widely aspired career choice is not traditional occupations such as doctors, lawyers, or teachers but becoming an internet broadcaster. This significant shift in career aspirations provides an insight into the rapidly increasing influence of digital media on the younger generation. The survey results highlight the dynamic shift in societal and cultural perceptions of career choices due to the rise of digital technology.

In Japan, the results of the survey were received with intrigue and concern. Traditionally, Japanese society has valued more conventional occupations such as doctors, teachers, or civil servants for the sense of stability and societal contribution they offer. The change indicates the younger generation's fascination with the digital world and their valuation of individualism and creativity. However, many parents and educators express concern about the potential declines in job security and the impact of the digital world on children's social skills.

Similarly, in the US and EU, there is a notable increase in children aspiring to digital and tech-related roles, including becoming YouTubers or game developers. This trend reflects a global shift towards digitalization. However, unlike Japan, Western countries seem more prepared and accepting of this shift, with infrastructure and relevant program developments within the education sector focusing on digital knowledge and skills acquisition.
