WORK AND CAREERS
Sometimes we say that someone we know is "a square peg in a round hole." This simply means that
the person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is doing. He may be a bookkeeper who
really wants to be an actor, or a mechanic who likes cooking. Unfortunately, many people in the world
are "square pegs"; they are not doing the kind of work they should be doing, for one reason or another.
As a result they are probably not doing a very good job and certainly they are not happy.
Choosing the right career is very important. Most of us spend a great part of our lives at our jobs.
For that reason we should try to find out what our talents are and how we can use them. We can do this
through aptitude tests, interviews with specialists, and consulting reference books on the subjects that
interest us.
There are many careers open to each of us. Perhaps we like science. Then we might prepare ourselves to
be chemists, physicists, or biologists. Perhaps our interests take us into the business world and into such
work as accounting, personnel management or public relations. Many people find their place in
government service. Many other fields - teaching, newspaper work, medicine, engineering - offer
different areas to those with talent and training.
