Raise your hand for the field you'd most want to work in. One vote each — write-ins welcome at the bottom.
Here's how this class voted — every field ranked — and what real jobs in each look like.
So… how much does speaking well actually matter in each of these fields? Here's the Speaking Stakes score — how much rides on your ability to stand up and communicate.
Not one field you voted for scored below the line. Every dream job in this room depends on speaking well — the only difference is whether it's your daily work, your career accelerator, or the high-stakes moment your whole year comes down to. And to our future truckers and lab scientists: still take this seriously… in case the career change ever comes.
