Some people think that young people should follow in their parents' footsteps when choosing a profession (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Every young person worries about choosing the future profession. Some people claim that they should follow their parents’ example, while others argue that career choice is an individual subject.

In my opinion, children should not choose their parents’ profession. To start with, children have unique talents and abilities, which they can guide to creative activity. The youth would not achieve their potential in some area if they choose mum’s or dad’s profession. Additionally, the life satisfaction depends on passion for an employment. If a young person follows in parents’ footsteps without a desire, he will be unhappy. Consequently, a person will not be making efforts in his work, which affects productivity and quality.

However, there is another opinion.

Some think parents are smarter and wiser than their kids, therefore young people should take an example from them. Adults have gained stability in life and they can give advice to children in some professional field.

I do not agree with this point of view, because living by the parents’ guidance deprives people of important experience. If a person gets troubles, he will not be able to solve them independently. Making life mistakes is unpleasantly but this is what builds a strong character.

To sum up, young people should not follow in the footsteps of parents in the case of a career. Although a family can have a voice in a one’s future, I am convinced he must choose his own way.
