some people say if children will benefit from choosing jobs similar to their parents' jobs.But I think what kind of job a child will choose can't just base on this factor.    what determine whether a job is fit you is your interst and your capbility.if you are interested in someing ,naturatlly you will devote your time to do it and commit to it. eventually it will contribute to success.on the other hand when you are good at somethng, you definately can do it better than others do. so that you will have a sense of achievement which will drive you to do better and better. one of my chinese teacher who chose the job she loves not the job which is similar to her parent's jobs.she is an incrediablely good teacher.she is the best chinese teacher in the whole province.she trigers student's passion for knowledge and lifelong learning.every student loves her and her class.so the similarity between yuor job and your parent's jobs is not dominant reason to choose a job.    Engaging in a job which is similar to your parent's jobs can not guarantee your success. your personality and your deligence can give rise to your success at work.The Carly S.fiorina ,CEO of HP, chose to go to law school at first because her father is a federal justice.but later she dropped out after one semester.because she found where is her passion.The answer is business even though none of her family is involved in anything about business.she started from a recepionist finally she became successful and famous.your success doesn't depend on choosing a job which is similar to your parent's jobs.    Admittedly, if you choose a job similar to your parent's jobs, your parent can give guidence.However,this is just external that can just help you to succeed instead of determine whether you can be successful.    As mentoned above, when you choose a job you should consider whether you are really like it or whether you are capable of it.and there is no certainity between your success at work and choosing a job similar to your parents.
