A survey of career trends carried out by the Chinese video streaming platform Bilibili and CBNData has highlighted the attraction of a number of new and unusual jobs. Pet-food chef, e-commerce live-streamer, product reviewer and drone pilot feature in the list of the careers in high demand among young Chinese job seekers.

The country’s young people aim to improve their quality of life and also dream of professions related to their hobbies and centres of interest. Approximately 78% of those questioned said that the most appealing aspect of these new professions was the manner in which they matched their personal hobbies and interests. Data from the survey also shows that 40% of respondents were attracted by the freedom offered by some new roles.
