If you’ve always dreamed of having a dentist for a child, then make sure you give birth in December. But if you are hoping for a debt collector, then January is definitely your month. That is the conclusion of researchers who have analysed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census. 还在为自己的孩子就业发愁么?科学家最近总结的一份“就业与出生月份”的报告可能会暂时排解诸多家长们的忧虑,专家称12月出生的孩子,长大后当上牙医的几率较大。倘若希望自己的孩子日后当上会计师的话,将孩子生在1月份将会是一个不错的选择。据悉,这是研究员针对19个职业的数据与从事该职业的人出生月份做对比而得到的。 The results appear to indicate that a person’s month of birth could make them statistically more likely to end up as a footballer – or a bricklayer. In January, GPs and debt collectors were found to be the professions with the greatest percentage above the monthly average. At the opposite end of the scale, it is a bad month for sheet-metal workers. A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist, and March is good for pilots, according to the study by the Office for National Statistics. April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions. 这项研究似乎通过儿童出生月份就能“预测”未来职业动向,受到许多准妈妈的欢迎。在统计数据中,1月份出生的人当会计师几率较高,而2月份出生的人更适合当艺术家;有意思的是,倘若希望自己的小孩日后当上飞行员,那么3月份让孩子出生将会是一个不错的选择。至于4月份以及5月份更适合从事职业的数据还未被统计出来,因这两月职业领域分布太分散的原因。 |
