Abstract
The purpose of this quantitative research is to understand the process of young people going through
unwilling career, from the first year to around third year of employment. The subject of this research is
newly-hired employees, who unwillingly entered a company. This study consists of semi-structured
interviews and they were analyzed based on the M-GTA. As a result, 51 concepts were generated. These
were organized into 12 categories, and a result chart was made. According to this, the whole process
consists of three layers; future, present and past. This process is divided into 4 terms –temporary term,
deadlocked term, constructing term, and acceptance term. This research suggests that the most important
way for them to be able to overcome the mental instability (deadlocked period) is to be aware of their
own “turning point”, and put their efforts to face their present work, which lead them to develop their
own new future perspective.
