Engineers, electricians, and builders are the top careers parents would like their children to pursue – with two in five hoping their kids will end up in a trade, instead of an office-based job, a study has found.
Nearly two-thirds (64%) of parents, with children under the age of 16, think a career as a tradesperson is something to be proud of, according to a poll of 2,000 mums and dads.
The top draws to such a career path, according to parents, include making a positive difference to customers (40%), always having work available (39%), and a decent salary (37%).
