Twentyfive years ago，most young Britons wanted a career in law，to be a doctor，or，if they were creatively minded，to take up singing.But today，things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile，a UK telecoms company，the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger，or “vlogger”．The survey，carried out among 1，002 people，found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal jobs.
The only reason for this change is undoubtedly the Internet and social media.They have made it so much easier to reach a global user，without having to get a job in show business in the traditional way.
“In years gone by，the biggest stars were shaped and trained by the Hollywood studios; now，anyone with a computer camera can become an icon (偶像)，”a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said in a news release(发布会)．“These selfmade stars record their hobbies to an admiring fanbase.Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”
However，what people see is only the great side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful get fame and fortune.There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still remain dreams.
This is why although vloggers are popular，some young people choose jobs that don't necessarily earn them fame，but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.Young Israeli David Leshaw，for example，runs a business called the Finishers Club.It's an online platform(平台)for runners to keep a record of their races.He told the website Zippia that his job allows him to express his thought，and is always a learning experience.And that's enough for him.
