The Different Careers
Nowadays, there are many different careers that one can choose. For example, if you like sharing your knowledge with others, you can become a(n) (1). This job is not easy, but at least you will get summer vacation like all the students do. If you do not like that one, you can become a(n) (2). This career is excellent for those who have a good sense of authority, since you will have to make sure people abide by the law. If someone breaks the law, you can arrest him/her. But if what you want is to help people, why not become a(n) (3)? That way, when people get sick, you can help them feel better. If you do not like this profession, you can become a(n) (4). That careers requires knowing medicine, but you would only work on people’s dental health. If you like medicine, but you do not want to cure people, you can also help animals, you can become a(n) (5). Another good job if you want to help people is that of a(n) (6).

If not, keep looking. You will find one that is just perfect for you!
