5 . Tips for choosing a career

Choosing a career isn’t always easy. Here are our tips to help you make up your mind.

Don’t let other people tell you what to do! There are always people who want you to become a lawyer, or be a teacher. Listen to them, but remember it’s your life and it’s your decision.    1    !

Consider what you think you’re good at. It’s true that things like salary (工资) are important, but don’t let financial considerations lead you down the wrong path.     2     — if you’re not very outgoing, don’t go for a sales job, even if the pay is good.

Your first decision isn’t forever.     3     — they choose a job, find they love it and stick at it. But it isn’t always like that, so remember — you’re allowed to change your mind! Certainly, it’s no good worrying for years: maybe you’ve got three or four possible things you’d like to do, so come to a decision and try one, and if you don’t like it, try another one.

    4     Some people choose their career simply because they think they’ll earn huge amounts of money. OK, if that’s what you want. But generally, people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing something valuable for others.     5     It could be a job that helps other people, like being a child-minder. Just don’t forget that job satisfaction isn’t only about money.

A．Do something of value.

B．Consider your past experiences.

C．It doesn’t have to be charity work.

D．Follow your heart and your personality.

E．Some lucky people get it right first time.

F．Be sure that you’re the one who makes that decision.

G．The more you learn, the more you’ll realize just how much you don’t know.
