If you asked your seventh grader what their DREAM JOB would be, they probably won’t say, “electrophysiologist.” They’d probably say YouTuber, or rapper, or Subway Sandwich Artist.
New research came up with a list of the top “dream jobs” worldwide. They did it by looking into targeted online search results for stuff like “how to be a . . .”
In the end, the top “dream job” across the entire world was PILOT. Which is interesting, because “flying the friendly skies” seems to get less sexy every year.
And the appeal apparently IS commercial flying, because the #1 dream job in America is: Flight attendant.
Here’s the Top 20 worldwide:
1. Pilot
2. Attorney
3. Police officer
4. Pharmacist
5. Nurse
6. Physical therapist
7. Midwife
8. Prosecutor
9. Actor
10. Judge
11. Doctor
12. Professor
13. YouTuber
14. Dietician
15. Psychologist
16. Firefighter
17. Flight attendant
18. Real estate agent
19. Psychiatrist
20. Paramedic.
In Canada, Australia, and India, the #1 dream job is: DJ.
In Mexico and virtually everywhere in Central and South America, it’s: Attorney.
In England and Scotland, it’s: YouTuber.
In Bulgaria, it’s: Taxi driver.
(Back to your seventh grader, if they just want to be rich and help people, maybe their dream job SHOULD be electrophysiologist. That’s one of the highest paid careers in the U.S.)
