Birth order may affect career choice

Did you know that …

Almost all of the U.S. presidents were the first-born children in their families?

All but two of the first astronauts sent into space were first-borns, and the other two were “only
children”?

Are these just coincidences? some researchers think they aren’t. In fact, recent studies suggest that a
child’s place in family birth order may affect the career she or he chooses.

Oldest children are typically successful and are natural leaders. Business executives and world leaders
are often the oldest child in their families. Maybe they are good leaders because of their experience
taking care of younger brothers and sisters.

Middle children are usually more relaxed than oldest children. They often help their older and younger
siblings to get along, so they are good at jobs that require cooperation, negotiation, and teamwork.

Youngest children often become artists, actor, comedians, and salespeople. These are ideal occupations
for them because they are typically creative, friendly, and funny.
