After-reading
Add more jobs to each category.
1. Do you agree with the text when it says “The secret to a good career is finding something that you are passionate about” Why
After-reading
I do not agree with that statement. For example, a person may be passionate about singing, but lack the talent for it or the ability to turn it into a career. It might be better to find something that he or she is good at and can be successful at, and pursue it instead, as that way he or she can at least earn an income. People can still pursue their passions as hobbies.
Ask and answer.
2. Would you like to take a career aptitude test
Why or why not
After-reading
Yes, I would like to take such a test, because I think it might help me understand what kind of career I am suited to.
Ask and answer.
3. What could be some problems with this sort of test What other things could you do to help you decide on possible future careers
After-reading
One problem is that it might help me better understand the kinds of things I like doing, but it does not really tell me what kinds of things I am good at, or what kind of job I can best earn a living with. I think another option is to take an internship at a company in a field I think I might like and try the job out to see if it is suitable.
Ask and answer.
