Do you agree or disagree with this statement? It is better for children to choose jobs that are similar to their parents' job than to choose jobs that are very different from their parents' job.

To choose an appropriate job is a crucial decision in everybody’s life. Some children prefer to continue their parents' jobs while others select very different job. It is true that in the past most of children did exactly what their parents did, but now the world changed. I think in this new world, children must choose a work in which they are interested and talented whether it is their parent's job or not.

Although in the past it was conventional for children to continue their ancestors' job, today they have more choices. In the past many people worked on their farms, or maybe they have some domestic animals. Also, there wasn’t any organized education to teach children various skills. Thus, most of kids engaged to their parents' job after they grow up. However, today there are many different jobs which a person can do and moreover, there is an education system in every country that can prepare children for these jobs. Therefore, it is not necessary that children follow their parents' way. Instead they have opportunity to choose their work meticulously.

In addition, it is proved that one can be success in his job if he really loves it. Without motivation and interest no one can work hard to achieve valuable goals. Furthermore, to do what you really interested in, make you happy. If you just choose a career in order that afford your life while you don’t like it, it turns to a boring duty. However, if you really love your occupation, you will wake up every day eagerly to start it. Thus, I think children must choose a job that they are enthusiastic about it. Maybe they love their parents' job, so they can do it, but if they don’t like it they should avoid it.

Finally, today jobs are very sophisticated and detailed. Therefore, we need to have some special abilities to success in one specific job. For example, if a child is good in mathematics, he can be a successful engineer in future, but if he is talented in music choosing engineering isn't a proper decision. Also, some children are good in sports while others may become thriving businessman. Thus, every child must discover his/her own talents and try to flourish it in a right way. Also, she/he should choose a job that is compatible with her/his ability despite the fact that this job may be different from their parents’ job.

In conclusion, I believe that today the world is changed extremely and children do not need pursue their parent's way of life. Also, there are many important factors that seriously influence their future job such as their interest and talents. Thus, career of their parents should not affect type of their future job.
