The research took place in a fifth grade class with twenty children in an elementary school in Reykjavík which had not received vocational guidance. The results are based on a written assignment given to the whole class in which they were asked to write down the names of the occupations they aspire to and other occupations they are familiar with.
Rannsóknin fór fram í einum grunnskóla í Reykjavík og eru niðurstöður hennar byggðar á skriflegum verkefnum tíu ára barna í tuttugu barna bekk, sem ekki hafa hlotið náms- og starfsfræðslu á skólagöngunni, ásamt viðtölum við tíu þeirra.
