Is it better for children to choose jobs that are similar to their parents' jobs? Some people think that it is better for children to choose jobs that are similar to their parents' jobs than to choose jobs that are very different from their parents' job. Generally speaking, I disagree with this statement. First of all, we should consider our own interests. People may have different talent and interests, and therefore spend more time on what they like and less time on what they dislike. For example, I have a classmate named Jane, she is good at math but doesn't like history. Because she is obsessed with solving math difficulties and spend a lot of time on math, every semester she gets good marks on her math exams but poor grades on her history exams. She wants to become a math scientist and finally she achieved her goal. This experience suggested that when we choose a job, we should consider where our real interest is, and plan our own life. Taking the jobs our parents do may not always be a good result. In addition to the talent, what I should say is that some jobs are somewhat out dated in today's society. We should also take into account the job opportunities when we choose a job. Let's say, the cart driver. When in old times, before the railway transportation networks become popular and the car has been invented, the cart is the main tool for a long distance travel. So the cart driver may have a large amount of demand in that time period. But now, thanks to the invention of the new transportations, people are more easier to travel a long distance in a short time. The new technology not only make our life more convenient and comfortable, but also abandon many traditional jobs. Some jobs that our parents do may not be popular today, children study in these field may face challenge to find a job. To sum it up, we should consider many factors when we choose a job, it is unfair to say that children should do the work their parents do.
