The rationale for this selection was partly down to wishful thinking on the part of those surveyed (designers, actors and musical performers were three of the top 15 jobs).
Youth must be allowed a bit of hope.
When Bartleby was a teenager, his ambitions were to play cricket for England and become prime minister; neither ambition was achieved (a lucky escape for the country on both counts).
Furthermore, teenagers can hardly be expected to have an in-depth knowledge of the minutiae of labour-market trends.
They will have encountered doctors and teachers in their daily lives. Other popular professions, such as lawyers and police officers, will be familiar from films and social media.
But many people end up in jobs they would not have heard of in their school years. You settle for what is available.

3、

當Bartleby還是個青年的時候，他志在參加英國板球隊，以及成為首相；最後沒有一個夢想實現（對於國家的這兩個職位來說是幸運的）。

{'minutiae':'微小的細節'}
此外，青少年很難對勞動力市場趨勢的細節有深入的瞭解。
5、

6、
settle for ：勉強接受
但是很多人最後找的都是他們在上學期間從沒聽說過的工作。你最後都是隻好接受那些還有空職的崗位。
