Inside America’s Dream Job: What They Don’t Tell You About the Ultimate Career
According to a recent survey made by MidAmerica Nazarene University with 2,000 Americans, only 25% of Americans currently work in their dream jobs. These 25% of Americans have either high salaries, born during the baby boomer generation, have PhD degrees or live in the Southwest area. However, what about the rest of the Americans? What do they want from their jobs?
Almost half of the Americans want to own businesses. 41% of survey respondents said that they want to have their own businesses but they are not willing to work more than 60 hours in their businesses. Out of these survey participants, 12% of them said they want C-suite titles, 23% said they want a mid-level management role, and 18% said they dream of having an associate position within a company. Also, they prefer to work in California but drive less than 2 miles to work and work only between 9am and 5pm with no overtime commitments in a small company with less than 30 employees. Well although these are ideal conditions, they are very difficult to become reality especially thinking about the conditions in California. They also add that they can travel twice a month and want to work in the entertainment industry.
