People starting out in their working lives really want their employer to have the X-Factor, according to a survey released today. The ‘Dream Jobs’ research conducted by Alliance & Leicester Premier 21 Current Accounts revealed Sharon Osborne was the young professional’s most popular choice when asked which celebrity they would most like to have as their boss.
The survey comes as part of a new programme by Alliance & Leicester to support their market-leading Premier 21 Current Account, which offers people starting out in their working lives the unique opportunity to spend a day with one of ten celebrity professionals including chef James Martin, business guru Tim Campbell and designer Wayne Hemmingway.
The research also revealed that while being an X-Factor judge might boost your popularity, if you’re considering entering next year’s Big Brother, you might want to think again. Reality contestant, along with politician, was voted the least sexy profession by 16-21 year olds. Unsurprisingly, policeman and fireman came out top as the hottest job for a man, confirming the stereotype that most women can’t resist a man in uniform!
Sharon Osborne came top of the list of celebrity bosses, which included Homer Simpson, Richard Branson and Nelson Mandela. For once she managed to beat Simon Cowell for the top spot - he’ll be disappointed with third place. The future doesn’t bode well for conservative leader David Cameron however who, as well as being a politician, came bottom of the list after Jose Mourinho and Darth Vader.
Andy Bayes, Head of Current Accounts at Alliance & Leicester commented: “Regardless of whether your career path takes you in the direction of your dream job, or towards something you had not previously considered, one thing that everyone will need from the time they start their working lives is sound advice. As part of the ‘Premier 21 Mentor Scheme’ we have brought together some of the most successful people in their chosen careers. What better advice can youngsters get than from people at the top of their game who have been there, done that and got the T-shirt?”
Dream Jobs Stats:
· Women still love a man in uniform, with policeman and fireman being voted sexiest job for a man
· Respondents voted politicians and reality show contestants the least sexy profession with less than 1% voting them the sexiest
· Actor was voted the most glamorous job
· More people are willing to be an escort or stripper than they are a toilet attendant, with 90% of young people saying they would not be willing to work as a toilet attendant
· Working as an escort proved more popular with men, with twice as many males as females saying they would consider being an escort as a profession
· Despite the prevalence of reality talent shows, 60% of 16-21 year olds are currently striving to be a businessman/business woman
