Would you like to be a footballer or gamer when you grow up?

Those were the most popular future careers picked in a survey of 1,306 children in the UK.

Research company YouGov surveyed the young people, aged six to 17, to find out which jobs they'd like to have in the future.

It was bad news for politics in the poll for Great Ormond Street Hospital charity (Gosh charity) - prime minister came in as the bottom choice in the survey - the least popular career option for kids.

Let us know what jobs you'd like to have when you're older in the comments below!

Almost a fifth (17%) of those asked in the poll picked footballer as their preferred job, with the same amount picking gamer or streamer.

It's clear that gaming is a popular industry, as these choices were closely followed by video game developer at 16%.

Elsewhere in the tech world, the desire to pursue a career in social media appears to get smaller as kids get older.

According to Gosh, the survey showed that one in five (20%) of ten-year-olds wanted to be an influencer, but only 6% of the 15-year-olds surveyed felt the same way.

Only 4% picked prime minister as a career, with the same number of young people wanting to be an activist when they grow up.

An activist is someone who campaigns about a particular issue that is important to them, hoping to bring change.

Jobs like vet, lawyer, environmental scientist and astronaut were more popular, with these careers tied at 7%.

10% chose the trendy career of fashion designer.

13% said they wanted to be a doctor or nurse, while 26% said they would pick a different career entirely!

The new research has been undertaken by Gosh to highlight how illness can impact kids' hopes for the future and their ideal jobs.
