Some people seek a lot of advice from family and friends when choosing their career. Others feel it is better to choose a career more independently. Discuss both views and give your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Choosing a

career

is

one

of the most important decisions in

one

's life. Some proponents argue that an individual must take guidance from family and

friends

while the opponents rebut that

one

should listen to his own guts and beliefs for selecting the profession. Personally, I believe that it is best to find

one

's

career

independently, taking a little guidance from loved ones. Below, I will explain that why I feel that our personal abilities and interests matter more than the experience of our parents and

friends

during

career

selection.

Firstly

, there are two main reasons why some believe that professional guidance should be taken from family and

friends

.

Firstly

, because elderly people have more experience and have met many people with different professions. So they can easily explain which

career

is best suitable for

one

's characteristics.

Secondly

, family and

friends

advice always helps

one

to choose the correct

career

path.

For example

, my best friend's father is an engineer, his mother is a doctor and his sister is a nurse. They all explained

and concerns from loved ones are always helpful and promising.

On the other hand

, some argue that focussing on

one

's own preferences and skills provides a clearer path because individuals have the best knowledge of their own skillsets and personality. Only a human knows in which field they are comfortable with and can achieve great success in future.

For instance

, a student scoring well in mathematics and physics has more interest in engineering whereas someone having a good command over biology and chemistry would be inclined towards becoming a doctor/nurse. Ultimately, your

career

will be built on your own capabilities, interests and

Although

the advice from our family and

friends

regarding our

career

discussion will always be supportive,

one

's own personality and likings matter more. Other people cannot understand your thinking and views about the profession. They will give mixed opinions and sometimes are very confusing. At

last

, to select the field of work wisely, you should listen to your heart and brain.
