Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice
of an 36 should be made even before choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, 37, most people make several job choices during their working lives, 38 because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve 39 position. The one perfect job does not exist. Young people should 40 enter into a broad flexible training program that will 41 them for a field of work rather than for a single 42 .
Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans 43 benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing 44 about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss 45. Some drift from job to job. Others 46 to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.
One common mistake is choosing an occupation for 47 real or imagined prestige (声望).
Too many high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field, 48 both the relatively small percentage of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal 49. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is 50 good reason for choosing it as life’s work. 51, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the 52 of young people should give serious 53 to these fields.
Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants 54 life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take 55 for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.
