Part 3: Questions and Ideas

Should parents encourage their children to enter the same field that they are in?
–Yes, because their parents have a lot of life experience to pass on to their children so their children should listen to them carefully and consider their parent’s advice about career choice.
–Yes, but only if the field their parents are encouraging their kids to enter is a job in the professions where a good income and job satisfaction is more assured.
–No definitely not. Pushing their children into jobs their parents chose will only make them unhappy and resentful. They should just look for a job that makes them happy and not a job that makes only their parents happy.
–No, as the job their parents have now may not even exist by the time their kids grow up and are ready to enter the workforce.
 
Now let’s talk about job dismissals and employability.
What are some ways people can make themselves become more employable?
-They should be prepared to do voluntary work to gain valuable job experience but should be careful about companies exploiting them for cheap labour where they don’t learn any meaningful skills.
-The government should force them to join the armed services where they will be trained not only as soldiers but also get paid while learning valuable job skills.
-The government should allow them to be trained in a useful skill for free and help them get work after training.
-More university and college courses should be dedicated to educating students so that they can acquire practical skills to make them more employable after graduation.
 What are some reasons why people often lose their jobs?
-the employee does something wrong such as often being late for work
-the employee does his or her job badly and the company decides to replace them
-the company has to downsize due to it not making money
