▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that young people should get a job related to their parents’ career. However, in my opinion, I think it is better for young people to pick a job other than their parents’. This is because young people may have different interests from their parents and want a different job, while also letting young people feel satisfaction for their works.
To begin with, young people can be different from their parents, and may want to have a career that is not related with their parents. Because people are all different, not many have similarities. This may be the same for young people and their parents. Young people can choose a different job from their parents, because their job does not match their interest. Take Willi Wonka from the movie ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. Willi’s father was a dentist, and wanted to make Willi a dentist when he grew up. However, Willi loved candy, and did not want to become a dentist, so he left his father and built a factory that manufactured sweets while his father remained a dentist.
On top of that, young people can feel satisfaction for what they did. If young people had a problem with their job, with the help of their parents, they would be able to solve the problem easily. But, if the young people were to choose a job different from the parents’ job, and came across a problem, the young people would have to try and solve the problem by themselves. This would make young people try to find answers in many ways, and when they find the answer, the young people will feel proud of themselves. For instance, I had a science problem that I could not understand. I tried asking the teacher, I tried thinking about it, and I finally found the answer. This made me feel satisfied, and proud that I had found the answer.
To sum up, young people may be different from their parents, making them get the job they want, which may teach the young people to be thankful. For these reasons, I disagree that young people should select a job in the same field as their parents. |
