A STUDY into the career expectations of 16 to 24-year-olds has shown all of them want to be altruistic through their career - compared to only a fifth of the over-55s.

The research, by Opinion Matters, also found almost half of 16 to 24-year-olds expect a job for life.

But parents in the North-East and Yorkshire do not share their view, with 75 per cent thinking their children will have more than four jobs in their working careers.

Money is more important to the 16 to 24-year-old age group than any other age.
