Adecco Singapore asked children aged between 7-14 years a number of questions, including:
- What do you want to be when you grow up?
- What is the coolest job that you can think of?
- What is more important: to make lots of money or to spend time with your family?
The Top Five “What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up” jobs are:
- Chef.
- Doctor (joint 2nd).
- Teacher (joint 2nd).
- Nurse.
- Pilot.
According to the kids, actress/actor, fashion designer and F1 driver were the coolest jobs. Other ‘cool’ jobs include being an animal helper, fashion designer, synchronised swimmer and inventor of “the best automated pizza maker”.
80% of the children would prefer to spend time with their families versus making money. Some of the reasons being:
- My family is the best in the whole world.
- My sisters and I are best friends and we do everything together.
- Because I don’t need to be a millionaire and I like having time with my family.
It’s always great to get an insight into what children are thinking. I wish them all the best and hope many of them eventually attain a career which they want/enjoy (which isn’t easy).
