VIII. Read the text and answer the questions below by choosing the most
appropriate option A, B, C or D. 
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.

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.
Then rank them in order of importance to you.
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, supervisor, real
estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical
location may be a concern, and employment in some fields is concentrated in certain
regions. Advertising job can generally be found only 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.

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.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke
positive or negative associations.
