Doctors, teachers, lawyers, and scientists are no longer the dream careers for young adult.
Well, they’re all outdated!
Nowadays, young people are more interested in careers that offer free working hours and a “work-life balance” rather than a traditional professional career.
The following five jobs are among the dream jobs for young adults and are especially popular with SPM graduates!
| 1. KOLs/Youtubers 2. Delivery drivers/ Grab drivers 3. Micro Businesses 4. Game Companion 5. Real Estate Negotiator |
1.KOLs/ YouTubers
According to previous figures, 72% of SPM graduates in Malaysia do not want to continue their studies at university, and many of them dream of becoming KOLs or YouTubers.
KOLs undeniably present a glamorous side to everyone; the more followers they have, the higher their video viewership, popularity, and endorsements, and thus, their income will also increase.
Ultimately, they will be able to achieve financial freedom and do what they want, which is why young people are attracted to this industry.
In addition, content creators do not have a fixed commuting time in today’s world. They need to shoot a video and post it online. They can earn advertising revenue when they accumulate certain views, making the job sound easy and straightforward.
In reality, however, making a lasting career in the KOLs or YouTubers scene is not easy.
In addition to maintaining entertainment on the social media platform, one must continually improve one’s knowledge range to produce various high-quality videos that enable viewers to learn and be entertained.
2. Delivery Drivers/ Grab Drivers
I’m sure you’ve all heard that “Grab is good for earning money,” and there are many articles on the internet about how much delivery drivers/ Grab drivers earn per day.
The “high income” of a few thousand dollars a week attracts many young adults.
Therefore, in addition to KOLs, many SPM graduates see delivery drivers/ Grab drivers as their ideal jobs.
Apart from the rumoured high income on the internet, the working hours of delivery drivers/ Grab drivers are quite flexible. The highly adaptable nature of the career allows you to arrange your working hours and location freely.
However, note that the platform will take some commission from your earnings, whether you are a delivery driver/ Grab driver. After all the fixed costs are deducted, you may earn less than you think.
3.Micro Businesses
Most people nowadays do online shopping. In addition to the existing sizeable online shopping platforms, micro-businesses are gradually emerging on social media.
What makes micro-businesses attractive to SPM graduates is that, apart from the flexible nature of their work, they are also a form of entrepreneurship.
Many younger generations now want to leave their 9-5 jobs and start their businesses as bosses.
Micro-businesses provide a platform for the younger generation to create their brands to sell on the Internet, with lower start-up costs.
However, starting a business is more challenging than you might think, especially as there is a lot of competition in the market for micro-businesses.
Therefore, it is advisable for young adults to understand the value their products bring to the market, have video editing and copywriting skills, choose the right platform for marketing, etc., before starting their own business.
Overall, micro-business work may seem like free work hours, but the hours can also be extended.
4. Game Companion
This profession is relatively new to many people and involves playing games and chatting with “employers” online to earn money.
This career is attractive to young people because it is ideal for those who like playing games.
They just need to stay home, make appointments with their “employers” to play games, and earn money while doing what they love – two birds with one stone!
5.Real Estate Negotiator
Real estate negotiators are also considered by many to be the ideal career as they offer “high income and flexible working hours.”
Although it is a professional career, the barriers to entry are low, requiring only an SPM certificate.
In addition, if a real estate negotiator achieves specific goals, they can also enjoy a wide range of rewards the real estate company offers, such as luxury trips, cars, watches, etc.
With several advantages, a real estate negotiator has become a dream career for SPM graduates or Gen Z.
It is important to note that real estate agents must also undergo professional training and examinations to be certified by authorities such as BOVAEA.
They also need to keep abreast of new trends, acquire new knowledge, and upgrade their various sales skills and abilities to maintain a competitive edge and stay in the real estate industry for a long time.
Of course, the most important thing is to join the right platform to gain more resources and opportunities for self-improvement, which will help them progress and develop better and longer term.
