More than half of teenagers say that having a career with a purpose, where they can really “make a difference”, is a bigger motivator for them than a high salary.
The top careers that those aged 13-19 would like to pursue are in medicine, social work, and green industries, according to a poll of 700 youngsters – despite two in five (42%) recognising they could make more money elsewhere.
It seems that money is not the biggest driver for teens – with over half (52%) more concerned with ensuring their chosen career is “futureproof”, such as healthcare, software development, and renewable energy.
