The present study aims to understand what occupational aspirations children at the stage of kindergarten may have and the correlation between the genders of children and their occupational aspirations. Purposive sampling is adopted in the study to sample 1,044 children from senior classes of kindergartens in Tainan city and Tainan county.The study shows that:a. Teachers, police officers and doctors are the occupations the children wish to pursue the most. Male children prefer occupations such as police officers and fire fighters, while female children prefer to pursue occupations like nurses, artists, stars, beauticians, and hairdressers. Teachers, police officers and nurses are the three occupations where the ratios of occupational aspirations to child genders show more significant difference.b. Regardless of their genders, social type occupations are top choices among the occupational aspirations of senior class children. Furthermore, male children favor realistic type and investigative type occupations, whereas female children prefer artistic type ones instead.c. As far as social prestige is concerned, both male and female children like managerial and professional positions. Additionally, male children are found to prefer service and semi-technical occupations, and female children like technical and semi-professional occupations more.Lastly, relevant suggestions are made based on the results of the study.
