VIENTIANE, Dec 19 (Laotian Times): A survey conducted by the organisation 108 Jobs and Wise called the First Lao Children’s Dream Job Survey collected data from ninth and twelfth graders in six state and private schools in Vientiane Capital to draw this conclusion.

Around 1,026 children participated in the survey and pursuing a career in the field of medicine was the top profession of choice as they wanted to support and care for other people. The second most popular option was starting a business, and children coming third on the list were unsure of what career path to choose.
