Globally, the ambition doesn’t stop there. Attorneys, police officers, and healthcare professionals like pharmacists and nurses are climbing the ranks, each for their unique reasons. The rise in popularity for police officers, a staggering 440%, perhaps reflects a growing societal focus on safety and justice.
