While members of Generation Alpha are still undecided about their dream job, they have a very clear idea of what they want from the working world
Born in the 2010s, children of the Alpha generation already have an idea of what they want to do in life. They dream of being doctors, actors or influencers, according to a recent American survey.
The Ellie Sparkles Show, a YouTube show for children, surveyed 1,000 American kids between the ages of five and eight about the jobs they dream of doing when they grow up. The health sector comes out on top, with 26% of the children polled wanting to become a doctor or nurse when they grow up. Through these professions, they dream of helping others and thus becoming a heroic figure. This often reflects a child's need for reassurance that they can do something about the bad things that can happen in life.
