#people #individuals #money #society #scientist #teacher
There are differing opinions as to which vocation is more successful. One group opines it is careers where individuals make huge income,
whereas
 others say more successful
people
 are scientists and teachers.
This
 essay seeks to look at both opinions and I will give my opinion in the course of my writing.
To begin
 with, the primary reason most parents enrol their children through formal education is to attain a well-earning job for an independent comfortable life. I can understand
this
 because, good living is defined by one being able to acquire shelter

 and afford food and good clothing. Money is required to attain these 3 things. It is
therefore
 not surprising that society views
such
 things as great achievements. Meanwhile, every worker earns a fee but at varying amounts based on the work they do, the skills they bring to the table and their qualifications. Most higher-earning individuals in our society are more skilled and have higher qualifications which only a few
people
 can attain. No wonder,
people
 interpret reaching
such
 height as
success
. In spite of all these, the benefits of
such
success
 are to an individual and his or her family.
Hence
, I do not reckon
this
 as one being successful.
On the other hand
, scientists and teachers impact several lives in the universe with their knowledge and skills. Our world is a better place because of research carried out by scientists.
For instance
, many lives have been saved since the invention of antibiotics by Sir Alexander Fleming.
Also
, the foundation of every profession is built on teaching. Teachers are especially skilled at imparting knowledge to everyone. They guide
people
 through childhood to adulthood to make career choices. Their products are the experts we have in our societies ranging from medical doctors

 to lawyers and contractors. In spite of
this
,
people
 in the scientific world and teaching fields, beyond good names do not earn much money.
However
, their impact is so great that it affects masses of
people
 all over the world. In my opinion, I think
this
 is a true definition of
success
.
To sum up
, earning a huge salary in a career is good for personal and family development. Whilst the works of a teacher and scientist affect the whole globe.
Therefore
, in my opinion, the later vocations are what
success
 is.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
