What kids want to be when they grow up: YouTuber

The saddest part of this is how unsurprising it is.

A new poll asked kids between eight and 12 years old what they want to be when they grow up.  And the number one answer is . . . YouTuber.  The rest of the top five are:  Teacher . . . pro athlete . . . musician . . . and astronaut.

For what it’s worth, YouTuber also came in first in the U.K.  But in China, astronaut came in first.

Well this is just a bit depressing: "American kids would much rather be YouTubers than astronauts" https://t.co/80fqK2uZCv I wanted to be a 'spaceman' or archaeologist (Indiana Jones specifically) as a child
