Kids' Career Dreams: Princesses and Presidents
Summary
When it comes to choosing a career, young people often look to their families for influence. Surprisingly, roles like superhero, whale trainer, and princess remain some of the most popular aspirations among children.Article
A survey by Adecco, the world's largest staffing company, reveals intriguing insights into children's career dreams. The survey included 245 children aged 6 to 14, asking them about their future job aspirations.
When imagining the coolest job in the universe, kids mentioned roles like Disney World employee, superhero, whale trainer, roller coaster designer, and princess. One thoughtful boy even considered "being a dad" as the ultimate job.
As for specific interests, many girls aged 13-14 are drawn to health sciences, with 42% leaning towards fields like physical therapy and veterinary medicine. Meanwhile, boys of the same age showed interest in psychiatry, herpetology, and acting.
Girls aged 10 to 12 often aspire to careers in medicine (37%), teaching (33%), and the performing arts (10%). Boys in this age group predominantly dream of becoming athletes (23%).
For boys aged 6 to 9, career aspirations vary widely, with 17% aiming for police work. Sports and acting also remain popular, and some, influenced by global events, plan to join the Army. Notably, one aspiring paleontologist is already practicing by "digging the chips out of chocolate chip cookies."
For young girls aged 6 to 9, teaching tops the list at 42%, followed by medicine, which was the previous survey's top choice.
Regarding the prestigious role of President of the United States, children shared their priorities: housing the homeless, ending world hunger, and protecting the environment. They also emphasized national security, hoping to "make sure everyone in the country is safe" and to "end all wars." Other imaginative answers included "making healthcare free for everyone," "building more Krispy Kreme doughnut shops," and "trying to be ready for everything."
While this survey wasn't the most scientific, it highlights that career considerations begin early. Adecco predicts that tomorrow’s workforce, with their intelligence and creativity, will significantly contribute to society, valuing work-life balance just as much as ambition.
In another reflection from the survey, one endearing response was a boy who thought the coolest job was simply being a dad.
