TPO20 It is better for children to take jobs that are similar with their parents' jobs or jobs that are different with their?
What kind of job should I take? Follow my parents' footsteps or pursuit what I am truly interested in? I believe every graduate student upon graduation ever thinks about it and the choice differs. No matter what the decision, In my opinion, It is quite simplistic to assert which one is superior to the other since we are supposed to examine this question based on individual's specific circumstances.
Apparently, for those who has developed a liking to their parents' jobs, most importantly, already acquired the relevant technique, There is no better choice than following their parents on the career advancement. On one hand, Their passion in the job prepares them with a magic willpower of perservering till the completion of every task, no matter how much setback they encounter on the way, On the other hand, their parents can act job mentors to help them overcome difficulties and share valuable lesson-learned they might not obtain otherwise. This point can be illustarted by my case. Since I was a kid, I have been interested in medical research since both my parents are doctors. Besides, encouraged by them, I attended a prestigious medical college and obtained the master degree of Clinical medical research. Obviously, I chose to become a doctor like my parents after graduation. Now, I am doing extremely well. I never back off facing challenges since I consistently exert myself to grapple with them with a great zeal, Also, my parents constantly offered me lots of insights about how they ever handle similar tough situations they have ever been in. This, undoubtedly, does help put me through.
Likewise, if children happen to be interested in jobs outside the scope of their parent's career, they should be encouraged and supported as long as they equip themselves with core skills that enable them to perform well in their future jobs. Even though it may seem a pity that parents' expertise is not passed on to next generation, It may be a bless in disguise from another perspective-----each family member have his or her own expertise and obtain diversified knowledge from each other. Isn't it tempting? My cousin, for example, becomes a financial analyst he has been longing for, Meanwhile, he has a weath of literature knowledge and share me numerous beautiful poems he write during spare time. How can he make it without participating in any relevant training? Actually, he has grasped the writing skill since a kid from their parents who engage in the literature teaching. As a result, parents whoes children chose not to take jobs that are similar to theirs should not feel sorry, instead, they should feel content since their children actually get the best of both worlds.
To sum up, it is rather superficial to conclude which choice more benefit to children since in reality there is not a clear-cut line to draw. The wise decision can only be made on circumstances.
