In the studies on "occupational mobility and education in Japan," it has been commonly recognized that acquiring a higher level of education guarantees the upward mobility in the occupational life. High status corresponding to high level of education, which has been prevailing in industrial management as Japanese seniority system based on academic career and long-term service in one firm, has been over-stressed in these studies. This essay tries to explore how to consider the role of academic career in occupational success in the changing society through discussing the following three points. (1) Over-assessment of academic career as a qualification has neglected the function of the "ability" of a person which results an upward occupational mobility. So the necessity of taking account of ability as an indispensable factor in the study is indicated. (2) Recent trends in industrial society, especially the rise of meritocracy in personnel management and the increase of occupational mobility of white collar employees, show the changes of some factors which have underlied the seniority rule. (3) The changes of occupational structure will give a great impact upon the role of formal education as occupational training as well as the traditional pattern of promotion system in firms.
