초등생 꿈 10위권에 '유튜버' 진입…1위는 교사에서 운동선수로
A lot of kids say when they grow up they want to be a fireman, an astronaut, maybe a painter.
Those are some of the traditional answers we hear.
But a survey suggests that the jobs kids dream of are changing.

Students' job preferences are changing, and some traditional job categories are losing popularity.
The Ministry of Education and Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training have released the results of a survey, which shows the job preferences of 27,000 students from elementary, middle and high schools.
One of the new entrants on this year's top 10 most preferred jobs was "Youtuber", which was one of the top 5 jobs chosen by elementary school students.
Another new job on the list was "beauty designer" which includes jobs like hair designer, makeup and nail artist, and tattooist.
For the past 5 years, "teacher" was the number one dream job for students, but it is losing popularity this year. It is still the most wanted job among middle and high school students, but has fallen in popularity over the past ten years.
And for elementary students, "teacher" has lost the top spot to "athlete", which was the most desired job for more than 9-percent of elementary school students.
Based on this research, more than 90 percent of schools are developing career education plans, and many schools have a separate department in charge of such plans.
Parents are also demanding information sharing and training so they can give their child career guidance.
