　　Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an  66  should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually,  67  , most people make several job choices during their working lives,   68  because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve  69  position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should 70 enter into a broad flexible training program that will 71 them for a field of work rather than for a single 72.

　　Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans  73  benefit of help from a

　　competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing  74  about the occupational world, or

　　themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss  75  . Some drift from job to job. Others 76 to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.

　　One common mistake is choosing an occupation for  77 real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school students--or their parents for them--choose the professional field,   78  both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal 79 . The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a "White-collar" job is 80  good reason for choosing it as life's work.  81 , these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the  82  of young people should give serious  83  to these fields.

　　Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants  84  life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security, others are willing to take  85  for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.
