An April Fool’s Day joke, but imagine if it were true -

“Internal Communicator” is world’s most-desired job, survey finds

Internal comms beats rock star and footballer to top spot.

According to a new study released today by research company, Rumclem, internal communications has now become the field that most young people claim to want to work in when they’re adults.

Once popular professions, such as footballer, or rock star, have now plummeted to the nether regions of desired jobs list.

Research, undertaken earlier this year with 4,000 youngsters across the globe, revealed a seachange in the professions that youngsters cite as their dream jobs.

While “Internal Communicator” came top of the list, the popular professions that kids of previous generations aspired to, such as footballer, or rock star, have now plummeted to the nether regions of the most-desired jobs list.

It almost had me fooled :)

Read about it all on the Internal Comms Hub.
