Top 10 jobs parents want for their children
A new study from Virgin Media has identified the top 10 jobs that parents want for their children:
- Doctor, 49%
- Engineer, 45%
- Lawyer, 43%
- Tech entrepreneur, 38%
- App developer, 35%
- Vet, 32%
- 999 crew, 21%
- Banker, 18%
- Professional sportsperson, 16%
- Musician/Artist, 16%
We’re delighted to see that becoming a Tech Entrepreneur or Engineer both score highly!
Last month research from VoucherCodesPro.co.uk found the top profession chosen by children was police officer (16%), followed by zoo keeper (14%) and fire fighter (13%). Perhaps the new Computing National Curriculum in schools will help bridge the gap in aspirations?
