Pass var to php ajax jquery

PHP
1

My HTML is :

<div id="students">
    <div class="field">
    <label>
        <input type="checkbox" name="pupil[a]" value="a" id="pupil"/>
        Pupil A
    </label>
</div>
<div class="field">
    <label>
        <input type="checkbox" name="pupil[b]" value="b" id="pupil"/>
        Pupil B
    </label>
</div>  <div class="field">
    <label>
        <input type="checkbox" name="pupil[c]" value="c" id="pupil"/>
        Pupil C
    </label>
</div>

      <div id="occupation">
            <div class="field">
            <label>
                <input type="checkbox" name="occupation[Software]" value="Software" id="occupation"/>
                Software
        </label>
    </div>
    <div class="field">
        <label>
            <input type="checkbox" name="occupation[Marketing]" value="Marketing" id="occupation"/>
            Marketing
        </label>
    </div> 
    <div class="field">
        <label>
            <input type="checkbox" name="occupation[Teacher]" value="Teacher" id="occupation"/>
            Teacher
        </label>
    </div>
</div>

My jQuery:

$(document).ready(function(){
$(":checkbox").on('change', function() {
	var myval = [];
	var theval =[];

	$(':checkbox:checked').each(function(i){
	  
	  myval[i] = $(this).attr('name');
	  theval[i] = $(this).val();
	  
	  
	  $.ajax({ 
	type: "POST", 
	url: 'draftdata.php',
	data : {myval:theval},
	success: function(data){
	$("#result").html(data);
	}
	});  

	  
});
});

});

The var myval seems to be sent to php as myval and not the actual value, i.e. name of the attribute. When I check Software, Marketing and Teacher and on draftdata.php do a print_r($_POST),I get:

Array
(
	[myval] => Array
		(
			[0] => Software
			[1] => Marketing
			[2] => Teacher
		)

)

But I am expecting to get:

Array
(
	[0] => 'occupation' = 'Software'
	[1] => 'occupation' = 'Marketing'
	[2] => 'occupation' = 'Teacher'
)

What am i doing wrong?
