Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an1should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually,2, most people make several job choices during their working lives,3because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve4position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should5enter into a broad flexible training program that will6them for a field of work rather than for a single7.

Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans8benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing9about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hitormiss10. Some drift from job to job. Others11to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.

One common mistake is choosing an occupation for12real or imagined prestige. Too many highschool students-or their parents for them-choose the professional field,13both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal14. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a "white collar" job is15good reason for choosing it as life's work.16, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the17of young people should give serious18to these fields.

Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants19life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security, others are willing to take20for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.
