Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better for children to choose jobs that are similar to their parents’ jobs than to choose jobs that are very different from their parents’ jobs. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

#children #jobs #parents’ #support
Some people say that children should pursue their own path and shouldn't choose a job similar to their
parents
. I don't agree with
this
 statement. From my perspective, there are many benefits to choosing a
career
 similar to your
parents
'
career
. I feel
this
 way for two reasons that I will explain in detail below. The
first
 point I would like to make is that having a job similar to your
parents
' job might help you to succeed in your
career
 life. If your
parents
 worked in a role similar to yours, they would advise you about how to solve problems or come up with ideas at work.
For instance
, my father and I studied the same major, Industrial Engineering. He had been working in
this
 field since he was 25 years old. When I started my professional
career
, he shared with me a lot of his best practices and knowledge.
Also
, he helped me to solve all my doubts about the new topics I was working on.
This
 was really helpful because he was a sort of personal advisor who guided my
career
. The
second
 thought I would like to point out is that if your
parents
 had a
business
 created, it would be better to grow that
business
 than to start a new one.
For example
, my uncle is a marketing advisor. He set up his own marketing and publicity company many years ago. His son, my cousin, decided to follow the same
career
 as his father because he got the desire to grow the family
business
.
Additionally
, my cousin thought It would be easier to start his professional life with a path already settle and a
business
 already launched. In conclusion, I think the best option for children is to choose similar jobs to their
parents
' jobs. As I mentioned before, your
parents
 might be your advisor in case you need help.
Also
, it's easy to build above what your
parents
 have already built.
