Source text - French Les Britanniques rêvent d'être Beckham
Les petits Britanniques ne rêvent plus, comme autrefois, de devenir médecin, vétérinaire ou enseignant mais ils s'imaginent désormais en David Beckham ou en Mika. Une enquête réalisée auprès de 3 000 parents montre que ces derniers perdent leur temps à vouloir convaincre leurs progénitures de suivre leur exemple et de faire des études pour bénéficier de l'ascenseur social. Chez les 5-11 ans, l'aspiration à une gloire comme celle dont jouissent les sportifs, les acteurs et les pop stars a supplanté l'ambition d'un emploi exigeant des compétences intellectuelles.
Translation - English The British Dream of Being Beckham
Young Britons no longer dream of becoming doctors, vets or teachers, they now picture themselves as David Beckham or Mika. A study carried out on 3000 parents shows that they spend their time trying to convince their children to follow their example by studying so that they may climb the social ladder. For 5-11 year olds, the ambition to find glory in sporting, acting or in music outweighs the ambition to find a job requiring intelligence.
