Sitting in the middle seat sets you up for success later in life

Sitting in the middle seat has long been considered as pulling the short straw; siblings and family members pin you in on both sides, you’re robbed of a window seat and there’s limited leg room.

However, new research conducted by Skoda shows being a middle seat child may well set you up for success in later life, particularly in business.

The study of over 1,000 families with two or more siblings shows that 90% of people in ’director’ level positions sat in the middle, while nearly three quarters (72%) of business owners and over three fifths (62%) of senior managers also found themselves between brothers and sisters when on the road.
