**Top Careers for Kids Today**

Navigating the Ever-Changing Landscape of Careers

Remember the classic board game where you navigated life's twists and turns, from college to career, marriage, and family? It's been around since 1960, and its latest iteration is getting a modern makeover. Hasbro recently surveyed 400 kids aged 8-12 from around the world to find out what they want to be when they grow up. The results are telling.

Kids today are drawn to careers that are both traditional and modern. In the US, the top picks include Video Game Designer, Singer, and Secret Agent, alongside more classic choices like Doctor, Teacher, and Police Officer. But there's a disconnect between their career aspirations and financial expectations. On average, American kids think they'll earn a whopping $249,319 per year – far above the actual average household income of $39,531.

This highlights the need for better career education and guidance. We need to help kids understand the realities of the job market, including the rise of portfolio careers and the decline of lifetime employment with a single employer. It's time to redefine what stability means in today's fast-paced world.
