Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It's better for children to choose jobs that are similar to their parents' jobs.

In my view, I agree that it’s better for children to choose jobs that are similar to their parents’ jobs. Some may argue that it should depend on whether or not the job is interesting to the children. However, if children did not choose the jobs which are similar to their parents’ jobs, they would not know whether this is their interest or not. Besides, there are several reasons for why choosing those jobs that are similar to their parents’ jobs is better.

First of all, you will understand the job in a more efficient way. It is now generally accepted that to totally understand the duties of job, one should take three years. If your parents tell you all of the details of their jobs,you will understand the duties faster than your competitors. You also don’t have to waste your time doing job that is not suitable for you. Even a job which is similar to your parents’ jobs is not suitable for you after you tried,because you would have spent as much time trying to understand the job as well as yourself.

Second, you will do the job better than your competitor. Because your parents will share their experiences, you can avoid making mistakes. When you are confused instructions and duties, your parents can make a suggestion to you. When you lost lose your confidence in a difficult circumstance, they can give you wise advice. For example, your boss allots a job to you. The clients were not satisfied with the way the company is handling all of the problems,but the decision was made by your boss, and you don’t want to lose your client either. Between both of you, neither of you knows how to solve the problem. In this case, if you have a parent who is experienced in the area to help you, the opportunity of success will be higher than your competitor.

Third, you can get more resources from your parent than your competitor. If your parents worked in the same area for many years, they have accumulated a lot of relationships in the workplace. For example, if you want to exploit the market, your parents can introduce their friends to you to help you. They can share their business networks with you. In turn, you will do your job more efficiently because of this. They can even work together. Like people say. “Half the work,twice the effect.”

It is obvious that if children choose jobs that are similar to their parents’, they will succeed quickly compared to others. This is because the parents will support their children. Moreover, they can communicate with each other.
