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

can be a challenging process. It can be difficult to say whether

this

decision should be made alone, or made with input from loved ones. In my opinion, it is best to find one’s

career

independently, with no more than a small amount of advice from family or friends. Below, I will explain why I feel that we must ultimately face

career

decisions on our own. Getting

career

guidance input from loved ones can be confusing rather than useful. Family and friends likely have different

careers

, and

thus

give different, conflicting advice. Suppose,

for instance

, that your father is a teacher, your mother is an accountant, and your best friend is a nurse. They have all made very different

career

decisions, and only have knowledge

their respective

careers

. Different people will likely only steer you to their

careers

, without giving good advice on your own best path.

In contrast

, focusing on one’s own preferences and skills provides a clearer path to the right

career

. After all, individuals have the best knowledge of their own abilities and interests. As an example, if someone has gone to university to study biology, they will know more about biology

careers

than a family member or friend who does not have that same kind of training. Ultimately, your

career

must be built on your own training and experience, not the training and experience of others. To conclude, I really do believe that

career

decisions are a matter of personal knowledge. Other people, even trusted family and friends, simply cannot understand your

career

the way you can. To select your field of work wisely, you must face

this

important decision alone.
