I found this profoundly depressing. A massive obsession with sports personalities is presumably in there, as is the complete failure of the teaching profession to get across to young children the range of fascinating careers that could be open to them (apart from teaching apparently - despite the fact that I know very few teachers who seem happy in the jobs themselves.)
If more young girls want to be hairdressers than scientists, is this to some degree a bit of a failure of both science education, and feminism?
On the other hand, at least there is at least the assurance that virtually no children want to be bankers or work in advertising.
Why do paramedics have such an image problem do you think?
