▶ Your Answer :
Selecting job is
one of the most important choice young people have to make in their lives. Some
people think simply that they have to follow the same path of their parents.
However, I believe that it is not a good idea to let young people to select a
job in the same field as their parents for the following reasons. First, they
do not have the exact same talent or interest to their parents'. Second, the
job their parents chose might disappear in the future.
To
begin with, it cannot be said that all people must have the same talent and
interest to their parents. It is because talent and interest are not inherent
but something develops through their lives. Some researches apparently show
that the interest and talent are crucial to succeed in career, so some people
think that the young people having successful parents should follow their
parents' path to do well. However, because their talent and interest are
different from their parents, nobody can guarantee that young people would
succeed. In this situation, making them follow the path regardless of their
characteristics is simply wrong. In this regard, I believe that it is bad idea
to make young people to choose the same job to their parents'.
On
top of that, the world has been changed over a few decades too fast. What we
have known and what we have believed might be wrong tomorrow. In other words,
we never know what will happen in the job which has seemed lucrative.
Therefore, the field where our parents have been worked might disappear in the
close future. In this circumstance, young people who will start their career in
the same field as their parents can lose their job soon. Some people think that
it is too far-fetched, but there are a lot of examples we have seen. For
instance, we do not require a lot of people who make products such as clothes
and shoes by hand because the process is automatized in factories. Therefore,
it is better to let young people to find new opportunities outside the field
where their parents have been.
To
sum up, not only do not young people have the same talent and interest to their
parents' but also their parents' job can disappear in the future. In this
regard, I strongly believe that it is a bad idea to let young people to follow
their parents' career. |
