To choose a profession To choose a profession is not an easy task. Although many people from a very young age know which is his/her passion, for many others, deciding what to do for the rest of their lives, might take a while. And we all have to respect the fact that, for each person, it might take a different time in doing so. To clarify, what I meant to sayis that nobody else can choose a career for you. Not even your parents. It was a very common practice in the past, and unfortunately, in some families, is still common today. Our work or professions, should be a source of inspiration, should be a place where we fell comfortable. Every person knows deep inside what thing can make ourself happy. I have seen a lot of people transforming into someone else they did not want to, and all because of a family decision. For example, a man that became a layer because of a family "legacy". That man after forty years of practicing his profession, left everything to study vet sciences. He always wanted to be a vet. So, after his father died, he started university again. As we can see, it is a heavy burden on our shoulders. So, from my point of view, to let someone to choose for you, it could only mean to throw our years of life to a rubbish bin. I understand that everyone want to make their parents happy and proud, but not at the cost of sacrifing your own wishes. Life is too short to live the life of others. Families should encourage children to find their own passion. Families should support that decision no matter what.
