Children Dream of Digital Careers – But Many Parents Don’t Get It
A recent survey reveals that 57% of parents feel disconnected from their children’s modern career goals, such as becoming content creators or e-sports professionals. Half of the surveyed kids say their parents don’t take these aspirations seriously. Interestingly, 84% of parents also admit that tech use has helped their children become more creative, empathetic, and socially skilled. According to the study, the top 5 dream jobs among 11–17-year-olds are video game designer or tester, software developer, teacher or tutor, content creator or streamer, and graphic designer—reflecting a strong interest in both digital creativity and hands-on learning.
