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:

1. Doctor,   49%
2. Engineer,   45%
3. Lawyer,   43%
4. Tech entrepreneur,   38%
5. App developer,   35%
6. Vet,   32%
7. 999 crew,   21%
8. Banker,   18%
9. Professional sportsperson,   16%
10. 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?
