The time of a baby is born can decide what jobs they will work on in later lives, a new study has
suggested.
Being born in a certain month seems to show the statistical (统计学的) likelihood (可能性) of
what job a person will end up with.
Researchers have found that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from
intelligence (智力) to length (长度)of life.
A child born in December is more likely (很可能的) to become a dentist while someone whose
birthday falls in January will tend to be a debt collector (收账人), they found.
A February birth seems to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies seem to
become pilots.
Meanwhile, April and May babies are said to have a fairly (公平的,均等的) even spread of jobs;
births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player,
doctor or dentist.
The study was made by researchers who analysed (分析) the birth months of people in 19 different
occupations (职业) using information from the last census (人口普查), the Daily Mail reported.
Although these things may be difficult to explain, relations between birth months and specific health
problems have a scientific basis (依据).
