Some
people think that young people should follow in their
parents’
footsteps when choosing a profession.
It is not a
rare case when children are encouraged to choose the
profession
their parents have. Moreover, many people believe that
this is the
most favorable scenario for the young. However, the
opponents
of this view claim that children benefit more when they are
free to
make their own choice.
In my
opinion, parents should give their children a freedom of choice.
First of
all, there is nothing worse in life than having to do a boring job
day by day.
This usually happens when young people get misled by
the success
of their parents and choose to take the same occupation
which
actually does not coincide with their personal traits. Secondly,
the
unconditional support of parents may make young specialists lazy
and
ineffective. In other words they will take their promotions at work
for granted
and will not have motivation for self-development.
Nevertheless,
some people share the view that parents may instill
their
knowledge in children and therefore help them become an
excellent
worker. In additional, few parents will refuse to make use of
their
social network and help their beloved children to secure a good
job.
Although it
is tempting to choose the easiest way and follow your
parent’s
footsteps, I think that it always pays off when we follow our
own dreams
whatever efforts it takes . It would be a pity to realize
that our
parent’s influence has prevented us from gaining selfsatisfaction.
In
conclusion, I maintain that under no condition should parents
impose
their opinions on their children when it comes to their future
profession.
Otherwise, it is possible that the young will blame their
parents for
choosing a wrong job.
