4. Do you agree with the text when it says “The secret to a good career is finding something that you are passionate about” Give your reasons.
I don’t agree with the 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.

2. What could be some problems with this sort of test What other things could you do to help you decide on possible future careers
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.
