在工作市場中，有些人會在他第一份工作期間待得比較久，有些人則不會；本研究的目的就是去檢測第一份工作期間與現在事業成功之間的相關性。本篇研究針對各種與職業相關的不同因素去做分析（包括第一份工作的期間、年資、學歷等等），來探討其對事業成功的影響。樣本包括了從元智大學不同科系畢業的學長姊（有效樣本數＝730），本研究發現在控制住年資和學歷的條件下，第一份工作期間越長將會顯著地提高現在的薪資所得。

In the job market, some may stay with their first job much longer than the others. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the duration of first job and present career success. By controlling factors related to career success (i.e. duration of first job, seniority, degree, etc.), the present study use interval regression to measure how these factors have impacted on the objective career success. Participants were alumni from alumni of the Yuan-Ze University in different department (N = 730). We found that while holding seniority and college majors constant, the ones with longer duration their first job significantly gain higher wages than the shorter.
