Read the following passage and indicate the answer to each of the questions.
 Choosing a career
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a career as an opportunity 
to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your 
options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career, and moving from job to 
unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice 
of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin by assessing your likes, 
dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask 
yourself questions, such as, “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary 
or cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. 
Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. [1] Then rank 
them in order of importance to you. [2] The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a 
desk all day. If not, there are diverse occupations – building inspector, surveyor, and real estate agent – that involve a great 
deal of time away from the office. Geographic location may be a concern, and employment in some fields is concentrated in 
certain regions. For example, aerospace jobs in the U.S. are most plentiful in California, Texas, and Washington. Advertising 
jobs can generally be found in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law, education, and retail 
sales are found in all regions of the country.
[3] If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offer 
relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, 
promotions, and commission. [4] Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke 
positive or negative associations: The travelling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does 
not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits that are less obvious. Flight 
attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors another 
point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new 
opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.
