The job market today is very competitive and it is best to choose a career or field of study early in order to get a good job later in life. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is true that finding a profession in

this

present climate is getting harder and harder due to the competition between numerous employees who apply for a particular position. Because of

this

fact, there are people who believe that in order to be successful in the future, students should select their educational curriculum and jobs earlier. While it might be hard for teenagers to stick to a decision, I see eye-to-eye to the people who mention

this

assertion. On the one hand, it is undeniable that children usually change their minds about their forthcoming jobs multiple times. The reason for

this

might be because, in

this

period of life, their personality is being built;

thus

, they might have different ideas in different stages of their lives.

In other words

, it is usual for a child to be fascinated by a cartoon or movie hero, and based on

this

wants a certain job.

However

, when they grow, these heroes will be replaced by real aspects of life, and

this

makes them reconsider their ultimate careers.

This

behaviour can

also

be seen in adulthood.

For instance

, some politicians have had a different field of

study

, and

then

they choose to be a politician. Bashar Asad, the president of Syria, who is a physician, is a prominent example here.

On the other hand

, by choosing the career and field of

study

early, one can have the opportunity to acquire subtle knowledge and required experience. If students already knew which field of employment they will in, before the high

school

, not only can they select the related subjects to

this

job in the secondary

school

, but they can

also

have enough

study

while they are in

school

.

That is

why I agree that those who are prosperous in their life had a clear planning before their graduation from

school

. Based on a

study

done by Tehran Medical University in 2012, approximately %64 of general surgeons had the decision about becoming a doctor when they were younger than ten. To conclude, in my perspective,

although

it might seem impractical for parents to force their children to select their prospective path, it is well-proven that individuals will be more successful in their adulthood if they do

this

.
