Hide AdA spokesperson for Purple CV said: “As children become young adults ready to embark on their chosen career paths, the realities of being an adult – often heavily influenced by financial factors – means many of their earlier career aspirations change.
“Different regions have different aspiration levels. Londoners, for example, have the highest salary expectations – young people there expect to earn a lifetime best salary of £74,728.”
