Top 10 jobs teens want

Doctor has topped the list of jobs teenagers want when they're older for the second year running, with vet and police officer moving up in the rankings, according to the annual BBC Bitesize Careers survey.

Pilot entered the top 10 for the first time, while doctor, engineer and teacher remained the top three most popular choices.

The survey, of more than 4,000 13-16-year-olds from across the UK, also saw teenagers rank the NHS as the organisation they most like to work for, ahead of Google, Apple and NASA. 'Government' also entered that list for the first time.

Almost half of those surveyed (47%) said they'd prefer to go to university after finishing school, with a quarter (25%) saying an apprenticeship would be their preferred route.
