The #1 “Dream Job” Worldwide Is . . .

I wouldn’t have guessed this one, but I get it…it’s a good gig.

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” was PILOT.  Which is interesting, because we’ve been hearing stories about how airlines have been struggling with pilot shortages since the pandemic.

When broken down by country, “pilot” is #1 in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Papua New Guinea, and Australia.
