Abstract
Part-time jobbers have recently increased especially among those who graduate from upper secondary schools owing to the reconstruction of their labor market in Japan. They are seen as having no purpose and low reality of their careers, as they often seem to say, "I do not know what kind of jobs are suitable to me. I wand to explore them and then I want to become a regular worker around them in 3 years", for example. This paper suggests that those who have lower resources tend to become part-time jobbers and therefore can do noting without emphasizing on their subjective aspect of career choice. They need to be constantly supported by adults and colleagues that they encounter in order to form their management of their own careers.
