Educational institutions should actively encourage their students to choose fields of study that will prepare them for lucrative careers. 教育机构应该积极鼓励学生选择那些为将来高收入工作铺路的研究领域。 The arguer asserts that most people choose a career not on the basis of his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work but only on pragmatic considerations. As far as I am concerned, I concede that there are quite a few of people choose a career on pragmatic considerations in this pragmatic world. However, there are still so many individuals choose a career based on their natural talents and interest. In addition, natural talents and interest not always conflict with pragmatic considerations. 1. Admittedly, many people choose a career on the basis of pragmatic considerations such as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make, which is reasonable in todays society: 1) To earn a living 2) To get fortune, fame, and promotion. 3) To further develop the interest: Only when ones living is under security could one have the freedom to choose what he likes or interest in. 2. However, the author has made an over-generalization in regards to factors determining career seeking when he or she claims that people choose their jobs only based on such pragmatic concerns as expected salary rather than their talents or interests. If this was generally true, why so many people work in the unprofitable occupations. We can see that there are certainly someone is free to choose a career based on their natural talents or interest regardless of pragmatic considerations. |
