▶ Your Answer :
Some people might say that it is not a wise
approach to try out several different jobs before committing to a long-term
job. However, I believe trying out a variety of occupations before one's life
job, even if it would take more time than starting a long-term job from the
first moment, has more advantages. First, it can get you more experience in
life. Second, when people have worked in lots of field, they can broaden their
own network.
To
begin with, the more jobs you try out, the more experience you will get. This
is very important because as you experience a wide array of jobs, you will get
aware of your aptitude. In our modern world, people who have many experience,
whether it is about job fields or about their life, are respected and not
ignored by others. Also, they can proceed to success while they are
experiencing any obstacles and failures during the process. For example, my
brother wanted to be a financial consultant when he was a college student.
Although he could go to a big corporate right after his graduation, he just
applied to another middle-sized company to experience various jobs. He tried to
get a lot of useful information and experience while working in it. As a
result, when he finally got to work as a consultant, he could feel satisfied
with his bountiful experience and confident about his job.
On
top of that, people can have wider network in their communities when they try
out different kinds of jobs. Having a wide network these days is beneficial for
people even when they move to other companies. To be specific, they can learn
plenty of things from their older or younger generations. A narrow relation
with other people means they end up getting only a narrow view. A broad network
lets people lead a pleasant and meaningful life. For instance, a study was
conducted by a group of sociology majors to determine whether good relation can
make people live a better life. There were two groups. One group was formed of
people who have a number of acquaintance around
them and the other had only few people whom they know or talk to. The
researchers found that people in the former group live much happier and
successful life. They said they could enjoy themselves more and get more help
from people around them.
To
sum up, trying out many jobs is advantageous because it builds your experience
and lets you have broader network. In this regard, I firmly believe that just
dedicating to a long-term job first is not the best way to live a desirable
life.
