This paper deals with occupational careers of white-collar employees. It first reviews preceding research studies to identify key points to address. Then, a fact finding study of intra- and inter-organizational careers of college graduates follows. Graduates from a private university "S" in Tokyo participated in this research to comprise the primary data set. Findings include, among others, that about a third of those who started their career in sales jobs remained in the profession throughout their career, while another third advanced their career to corporate planning, development, or top management circles. It appears that one can start in a sales job to pursue a sales professional career, or regard it as a starting job to climb up a career ladder. The study also finds that the white-collar employees tend to advance their early stages of career within an organization which, in turn, serve as a basis for inter-organizational career development. This paper would serve for college students in social sciences, including business majors, to foresee their career paths.
