As parents, everyone wants their children to grow up successful and prosperous. Career guidance for children is also very important and necessary because a profession is something that will follow them in the long run.
There are professions that can bring high income but are temporary and not long-lasting. But there are also professions that will provide future prospects for children.
In summary, there are 3 types of professions that parents should consider when they see their children making choices.
Highly replaceable jobs
When looking for a job, remember not to choose a job that is highly replaceable. For example, a cashier in a supermarket is a job that is highly replaceable, in the past cashiers had to remember the prices of each item, but now they don’t need to do anything, just scan a few barcodes with a scanner and the job is done. Even the elderly can do this job, so young people should not waste their time and effort on it, in the end, they will not gain anything.
On the contrary, some students learn hairdressing, if they cut hair beautifully and have their own unique style, many people will prefer to get their hair cut by them, which means they have a skill that cannot be replaced, because others cannot cut hair as beautifully as they do. Moreover, once their skills become irreplaceable and start to become scarce, their value will increase, they can serve even wealthier people, and have a more hopeful future.
Superficially good jobs
A famous newspaper once conducted a survey and found that 54% of people born after 1995 mostly want to become show hosts or internet celebrities, they believe that talking and dancing in front of the camera can earn them a lot of money and fame.
But behind these seemingly glamorous jobs, there are often hidden hardships that are not visible to everyone. For example, writing scripts, selecting materials, filming, editing, many tasks can only be accomplished through the efforts of a team. In this industry, only a very small number of internet celebrities can stand out and most people can only face failure.
Furthermore, the success rate of internet celebrities is very low and the career cycle is very short. Children should not consider youth and beauty as their trump cards, the reality is that the greatest wisdom lies in the path of maturity.
Therefore, we should look at this profession correctly and not let superficial scenes deceive us. Children should not consider youth and beauty as their trump cards but should focus on cultivating their inner self, constantly learning and improving their abilities, and living in reality, which is the greatest wisdom on the path to maturity.
Jobs that harm health
For example, some time ago, I saw a 22-year-old girl staying up late and working overtime for four consecutive years, suddenly fell ill and was taken to the ICU for emergency treatment…
There are many examples of sudden illnesses caused by staying up late and working overtime continuously. For instance, a 38-year-old man had to be admitted to the ICU because he wanted to buy a mobile scooter for his family without taking any rest for 10 consecutive days. His elderly father had to sign a poor health certificate with trembling hands.
The scene of health being damaged due to working overtime makes people reflect: Do we really need to sacrifice our health to pursue money and status?
If a job has to be traded with health, no matter how good it is, it has no value. Because health is number one, everything else is zero. If we lose the first number one, the remaining zeros will become useless.
In the highly competitive working environment today, choosing a suitable job is very important.
In addition to salary, we should also consider many other factors such as career development prospects, working environment, whether the job suits our interests and expertise, etc. These factors will deeply impact our future career.
