The top 5 ‘dream jobs’

That’s what LinkedIn sought to determine when it asked 8,000 of its members to name their childhood dream jobs and whether their current job matches it.

Turns out, one-third of LinkedIn members said they either hold that job or work in a career related to it. The top characteristic of a dream job, as mentioned by more than 70 percent of respondents, is “taking pleasure in your work,” followed by “helping others,” which only grabbed eight percent.
