According to a LinkedIn “Dream Jobs” study released today, Singaporeans are a pretty sedate lot when it comes to their dream jobs.

The top dream job for Singapore men was to be an engineer and for women was to be a teacher.

This online survey ran globally, where more than 8,000 people participated, including 393 professionals from Singapore.

Here are the top-ranked dream jobs for Singaporean men, compared to other professionals around the world:

In comparison, here are the dream jobs for women:

I guess LinkedIn is a “serious” professional social media network. To be fair, that’s how I use it too, and am too old to willy-nilly switch careers from journalism/PR in the technology space.

But for once, can’t we all have some fun? 🙂

In all the cool careers, Singaporeans of both sexes scored abysmally.

For example, dream jobs like astronaut (2.5%), artist (1.8%), superhero (1.3%), race car driver (1%), prince/princess (0.5%), zoologist (0.3%) and even ninja (0.3%) didn’t take with the serious-minded surveyed Singaporeans.

However, there are plenty of Singaporeans with interesting real-life jobs. According to LinkedIn, we have 4,700 LinkedIn members in Singapore who are fashion stylists, 255 wine/beer specialists, 115 geologists, 112 casino dealers, and 2 archaeologists!

Nearly one out of every three LinkedIn members surveyed around the world (30.3 percent) stated that they either currently have their childhood dream job or work in a career related to their childhood dream job.
