Searching for a job seems to challenge youngsters these days under the global depression.Someone says it's better for children to target jobs similar to their parents so that they have more chances to succeed.While I couldn't approve such an opinion,since it is whether the job suits the child that counts,rather than if the job bears remarkable resemblance to his or her parents'.
Primarily,children don't necessarily inherit the core talent which their parents have for their successful career.It is normal that A father who is a scientist, has a good sense of logic reasoning,however,his son gets a poor math grade.In addition,we are not sure if children would show the same interest to those areas like their parents do.For instance,it's not strange to hear that professors' children hate to speak in public.Or maybe the field in which their parents participate is a sun-set industry.For example,every country need peasants,but comparatively,peasants'number is declining due to the rapid development of mechanization.In this case,it is not wise for peasants to force their children to be peasants again.Therefore,it's not reasonable to say children should inherit their parents'career.
What's more,good personality probably would contribute more to children's successful career,which has little relationship with the jobs themselves.If children own those priorities such as persistency,honesty,good manners,they are prone to succeed in any industry.Jackey Chen is a famous film star all over the world,who is well-known for his fearlessness and diligence.He achieved his numerous goals by his outstanding personal characteristics,not because he works in a similar area just like their parents.
I have to admitted that sometimes certain family do become prosperous by carrying on a career generation by generation.This is most common in Japan.The eldest son steps into his father's shoes after his father's death.But we also see Mao,being a leader in the liberation of China,quit to be a rural teacher or a farmer working in the fields.If he did the similar job as his parents,he may not be so great and repected by all the Chinese.
Like all that I said,even if it's viable for youngsters to rely on their parents by choosing similar jobs,they can only enjoy the benefit once in a while.Life is a long journey,and only you can determine your future.Afterall,there is no shortcut through our career success.Therefore,I am determined to disagree the opinion that it's better for children to choose the jobs similar to their parents,for those two things are not invirably linked.
