You should consider all aspects of a job. Some jobs may be dull but very important to society, while others seem very exciting but actually they are difficult and boring. For example, being a model or an actor seems very glamorous. In reality, only a few of them are successful and they have to spend too long hours working and they are also under great pressure to appear young and beautiful.
Many people have ambitions to become successful as a lawyer or businessman, but they don’t consider the stress and pressure.
In contrast, some people may find jobs that are better suited to their talents and interests, such as a beer taster at a brewery.
Similarly, many ordinary jobs are as essential as water to society, although they may look dull, such as shop assistants, drivers, barbers and cleaners.
So when thinking about your future career, you should remember that some glamorous jobs can be rather difficult and that some ordinary jobs can be quite important. And all jobs may help the society fun_ction.Now let’s return to the original question: Do you think Andy finds a glamorous job?No, the job seems exciting but actually very difficult.
