When their parents were children, they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or doing the rounds (巡诊) as a doctor.
But today’s British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney.
Researchers questioned 3,000 teenagers about their ambitions (strong desire to achieve sth.) and also asked parents about their youthful career hopes.
According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity (明星) lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars.
Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today’s teenagers, cited (说到) by 12 percent.
Almost as many, 11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion (比例) dreamed of being actors.
The success of celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago.
A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent. These days the job is chosen by only 4 percent.
Of the traditional professions (职业), only law has risen in popularity.
The survey also suggests that more girls dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters.
Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect(反映)today's celebrity culture and warned children against unrealistic dreams.
“Children see footballers, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous (光鲜的) and fun,” she said. “It is hard for them to realize that they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent, determination and years of hard work. Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch (球场) by chance.”
As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but “these have to be based on reality,” she said.
