We're surprised and not surprised at the same time. According to the results of a new UK study by VoucherCodesPro, young British people see "blogging" as a top career choice. Three quarters of those surveyed had attempted blogging themselves, too. There were a total of 2,348 British people were polled as part of the research, all aged between 18 or 25.

These youngun's surveyed believed that a career in blogging could make them an average of £8,500 a month. Of course, it's quite clear who the inspiration is behind the big bucks: the likes of Zoella (39%), Jim Chapman (27%), Marcus Butler (21%), Tanya Burr (18%), and Alfie Deyes.

1. Blogging - 24%

2. Sportsman/Sportswoman - 18%
