While some people insist that young people should be able to choose any career they would like, others hold the views that they should think about their future more realistically. In this essay, I am going to give both these views and give my own opinion.
On the one hand, we live once only and thanks to medical and science technology developments, human being’s life expectancy has increased significantly. Unlike a few decades ago, nowadays many people start a new path of career in their 40s and 50s. And also, current society is unpredictable, everyday there are new jobs that arise and disappear. To illustrate, we can commonly see people at the age of 40s, after they leave the company they have worked for so many years, they start their own business or go back to study. And speaking of unpredictable, COVID-19 outbreak showed us a big change in the job market. Many of the people lost their job and changed their career path. Therefore, no one can tell someone what to do for their future because it is never too late to start something new and we do not know what will happen in the future.
On the other hand, It is good to be positive, but it is a little bit dangerous to be a dreamer. Every one of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. From observing and self-reflecting we can figure out what sort of job will suit with my strong points; however, some people are living in their dream, they overestimate themselves and hoping they can be successful without any effort. Worst case scenario, if everything goes wrong, some of them might give up on their life. Therefore, young people should think about their future more realistically rather than being a dreamer.
In conclusion, my personal opinion is that as our life is full of uncertainty and we can live long, we should give to young citizens free choice for the job. [327 words]
