B : People need to consider important factors
when choosing a career. In my opinion, the most
important factor is to choose a job that goes
well with your personality. Are you an outgoing
person who loves meeting new people and talking
to them? Perhaps you should become a tour
guide or a teacher. Are you shy? Maybe you
should be an accountant or a scientist.
Remember, you will do your job almost
every day. If you have to change your personality
when you work, you probably won’t be very
happy. And neither will the people you work
with. Nobody wants an unfriendly tour guide or
an impatient teacher. Are you a moody person?
In most jobs, you will be expected to control
your emotions. That’s hard to do if your mood
changes often. In that case, you might want to
work alone. Perhaps you could be a writer or an
artist.
There are other factors to consider, such as
salary and status. However, what good is a large
11
salary or high status if you don’t like your job?
You should consider your personality, find out
what you are very good at doing, and then find
the right career to go with all this. Too many
people choose a career because it pays well. Too
often, they find they don’t like their jobs. But by
then they feel like they’re in a trap, and they
can’t escape. Finding a good career is important.
Think about it and choose carefully.
