The Importance of Choosing a Career Path

-*

--I!r
.E
Today's students have a dizzying array of career avenues not availabrle to earlier generations. On the one -E

-_-E
hand, it is exciting to have so many possibilities, but it can also feel stressful and overwhelming, especially
with people unrelentingly asking, "What are you planning on doing with your life?" If you have no sense €
-rE
of purpose or direction, you could waste precious time in low-paying, dead-end jobs.
--'J!!rl

Salary and Earning Potential
=
Following a career path paves the way for economic security throughout your lifespan. Most people do i=
not fall into their dream job by sheer luck. Only a sliver of the population achieves fame and foftune :.i:-::
:_jji,1
through extraordinary talent alone. A high school education is required for most jobs that pay above jji;'
minimum wage. In 2016, Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce found that ---+
---l{-t
high school graduates make an average of US$1.4 million in total earnings during their workforce years. ,.ff
-'-ltl(
College graduates have a lifetime eamings potential of'US$2.5 million and those with a master's degree ..Ti4

can make US$2.9 million. The path to a gratifying job with a good salary starts with matching your talents ---fi.

Job Satisfaction ----*i

.:S€
More than any other generation, 88 per cent of millennials fincl it especiaily important to work at a job that _,:-j

supports their career development, according to job satisfaction surveys reported by the Society fbr Human ;rL
Resource Management. Other key contributors to job happiness include feeling respected by everyone at

work and receiving good wages and benefits. Choosing a career path will likely involve postsecondary .-.f
training with internships or apprenticeships, which can offer assurance that you are on the right track to :tl
finding a job you will enjoy for many years. =
:i-a

Job Security
:ji=

High-paying, appealing careers are within your reach if you develop a career path and follow it. A good
job can buffer anxiety over the high cost of living, especially skyrocketing rent or mortgage payments. .+11
r- \i
Also, college graduates have the highest rate of employment. The National Center for Education Statistics .:l(
reports that BB per cent of college-educated adults were employed in 2016. The risk of being unemployed .:.9a
is greatest for high school dropouts who have a dismal employment rate of 48 per cent because so many :--}\
jobs require some type of postsecondary training. Meandering about in various unskilled jobs may suit .]ij

SECTION B

MODULE 2_ LANGUAGE AND COMMUNITY

2. Read the extract below carefully and then answer the question that follows.

,.Gosh!,' said Lloyd, 'your uncle must be a real sport to let you have a gun like that. Even for
borrows."

Mark made a casual deprecating gesture that irnplied it was all in the family but that it was a pretty
good family to be in.

When Lloyd left him he went into his front garden and up on to the verandah, which was shut in,
protected and cool with the thick rice-and-peas vine and with the handsome cane furniture casually
and carefully arranged along its length. He went in through the darkened cool drawing-room
and dining-room where the dark glimmers of mahogany shone, and out on to the verandah' Here
it was light and hot with glare and smelled of the hot flat-irons on the coal pot and the scent of
starched, freshly-pressed white cloth. The servants were working and laughing together as they
worked: Alice was ironing the clothes. Lyn was squatted on a stool with a big earthenware bowl
on her lap, picking rice, her skirt drawn up over her glossy black knees and tucked primly down
between lhe big, round, shiny thighs. Dan the garden-boy was out under the avocado tree cutting
and joining a new length of rubber hose.

15 "Hi sah," Alice said to him fondly. "You come home late today. Where you been?"

"Oh," he said, 'I was down in the gully.'

He leant the alr*gun carefully in a corner and slung the satchel strap over his head.

,'I went shooting." He told them and took the birds he had shot from the now damp and blood-
stained newspaper. He laid them along the verandah rai1. First the three doves, close togetheq
za then the othei, unnamed bird a little way from &em to show it wasn't of the same quality.

..Lawd, Missa Mark, but you is a shot. You gwine shoot crocodile next. Well, four bird, all one
time."

Adaptedfrom John Hearne, "Voices under the Window"

In The West Indian Narrative: An Introductory Anthology,
Revised edition, compiled by Kenneth Ramchand,
Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1980, pp. 130-131.
