Author tops jobs poll

New research has shown that the top three most desirable jobs to have in Britain today are author, librarian and academic.
The YouGov research reveals that the most desired jobs in Britain are not necessarily the most reliably well paid ones but ones that are seen to retain an aura of prestige
Being an author is the number one most desired job. Not only would the most people like to be one (60%), the smallest percentage would not like to be one (32%). Second place was librarian (54%) and third academic (51%).
So there you are writers – think of the prestige next time you sit down to a hard slog writing the next 5,000 words of your opus!
