In the interest of providing information on children’s career choices, HowDoIBecomeA.net produced this [infographic detailing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charts-not-chapters) the [top 10 most popular jobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mira-migo).

The infographic starts out by explaining that there are 22.2 million kids in the US aged 6-11. By 2020 there will be 163.9 projected jobs and 2.5 million of them will be in one of the categories discussed in the infographic.

First up is a popular pipe dream of many kids -- an athlete. While the average income of an Major League Baseball player is $3.4 million and is expected to grow by 22% by 2020, this infographic doesn't outline the extreme odds against becoming a professional athlete.

Other popular careers that are discussed are: doctor, spy, model, firefighter, police officer, pilot and more.
