完形填空。
Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an
1 should be made even before choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually,
2 , most people make
several job choices during their working lives,
3 because of economic and industrial changes and partly
to improve
4 position. The"one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should
5 enter into a broad
flexible training program that will
6 them for a field of work rather than for a single
7 .
Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans
8 benefit of help from a competent
vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing
9 about the occupational world, or themselves for that
matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss
10 . Some drift from job to job. Others
11 to work
in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.
One common mistake is choosing an occupation for
12 real or imagined prestige (声望). Too many
high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field,
13 both the relatively
small percentage of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal
14 . The
imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is
15 good reason for choosing it as life's
work.
16 , these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical
and manual work, the
17 of young people should give serious
18 to these fields.
Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants
19 life
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 take
20 for financial gain. Each occupational choice
has its demands as well as its rewards.
