Many of the employees think their career path begins during their employment or when they get a job. But basically, if we look at what becomes of a person, you can root it from the upbringing(培养)of the person, to be more specific, from childhood.
As parents, we usuallv groom(规划)our children's future according to what we are or what we wanted to be. We buy them toys and educational materials according to what we dream our children would become someday For example, we know that becoming a teacher means a lot of sacrifices and lot of time worked but the pas is not satisfying. Thus, if we see this profession not favorable financially, we discourage our children to become teachers.
However, the earliest exposure of children is usually in the medical field profession(every time they visit the hospital for consuitation or any medical requirements)and the education or teaching profession(by the time they start attending classes). Information other than the two profession mentioned came from the parents and later exposure or experiences when they grew up.
The parents' role plays a major part for the individual's success. The best approach is to support the children's interest and not forcing them to take courses that the parents wanted for themselves. Support can be provided by helping them read materials on their field of interest, exposing them to the career and providing information as to the advantages and sacrifices that one may take to accomplish their chosen field. The Internet and the publications are now very affordable and even the media provides the information for the different careers that our children may take. There are shows and programs that can provide a picture of the different field. But before you go to your television and change the channel of what your children is watching: check first if the program is fit for their age and maturity.
