The research, based on a poll of 2,000 people across the UK, reveals that 44% would have liked to work in technology for the ‘money’, 41% for the ‘intellectual challenge’ and 30% for the fact that a career in technology would provide them with ‘more job opportunities’.

One in three (32%) said the technology industry was attractive because it gave the ‘opportunity to shape the future’ and 16% because they think it would enable them to work on things that would have ‘a real impact on society’.
