British people dream of careers where they can care for other people, says Britishlife Research. If they don't need to think about money, then the top dream job for the United Kingdom men and women is charity work.

There is a saying, 'Never work with children or animals', but working with animals is the second favourite dream job for women. They also chose nursing and teaching in the top ten.

But British men, too, chose working with animals in their top ten. They also included being an artist. The research also shows that TV affects people's dreams. As gardening is very popular on British TV, it is in the top ten for both men and women. It is perhaps because of the children's TV character, Bob the Builder that being a builder is the third most popular job for men.
