一項針對2000名美國人的最新調查讓他們回到了過去，調查他們童年時的夢想職業(yè)以及他們成年后的轉變過程。

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Zety, the survey found that, sadly, two-thirds failed to fulfill their childhood dreams.

這些童年的夢想是什么?在男性受訪者中，成為職業(yè)運動員的比例最高(17%)，而女性受訪者中想成為教師的比例最高(22%)。

男性和女性都對長大后當醫(yī)生有濃厚的興趣，這是他們的第二選擇，男性有15%，女性有17%。

對美國人來說，15歲是他們第一次找到工作的年齡。修剪草坪是男性的首選(15%)，照看小孩是女性的首選(25%)。
