Teenagers are anticipating a £70,000 a year salary by the time they're 30 by going after traditional over unrealistic aspirations like becoming social media influencers.
A poll of youngsters aged 13-19 showed that 45 per cent think they will land their dream job by their 30th birthday.
The figure is nearly three times what the average annual salary a 30-year-old currently earns, which is £23,700.
On behalf of a financial services company, the poll showed that the top three choices are engineer, teacher and psychologist.
Only one in 10 of the teens wanted to pursue modern paths, like becoming a blogger, Instagram star, video game developer and coder.
