Astronaut is the UK’s dream job!

27 July 2010

Research from HireScores, a dedicated recruitment agency review website, has discovered that the majority of candidates in the UK would choose to become an Astronaut if given the chance!

The survey was carried out on 1,387 members of the British public and posed the question “what job would you most like to have?”

69% said that being an astronaut would be the best job in the world, with 76% of those saying that they liked the idea of exploring space. 64% thought that becoming a doctor would be their first choice, with half saying the ability to help people and ‘make a difference’ as being the biggest appeal.

61% said that being a pilot would be their ideal job with over half, 52%, stating they thought the role was sexy, and a third saying that they liked the thought of the power. Of those that didn’t wish to be a pilot, 22% said it was because they had a fear of flying.

Being a professional sportsperson came in at number 4, with 58% of people opting for this choice. 72% of male respondents said that they would want to be a football player, whilst 52% of women said that they would want to be a tennis player.

The top ten jobs that people would most like to be:

1. Astronaut – 69%
2. Doctor – 64%
3. Pilot – 61%
4. Professional sports person – 58%
5. Singer – 54%
6. Actor/Actress – 53%
7. Journalist – 49%
8. TV Presenter – 46%
9. Fireman – 39%
10. Detective – 37%

Candidates were later asked the question “what job would you consider to be the worst?” 63% said that they thought that being the Prime Minster would be the worst option. The greatest reason was the huge level of responsibility, with 43% stating this.

Managing Director of HireScores, Lisette Howlett said;

“It’s no surprise that being an astronaut is considered to be the best job in the world by Brits, as it encapsulates being a hero with many peoples’ childhood fantasy, which is an ideal combination and truly a dream job.”
