There are several important things a young person should think of before choosing a career.

First, they have to be interested in what they are doing. Young people don't have much hands-on experience so it is vital they pick the right kind of work. Otherwise, they could easily get bored and not take the initiative to enhance their knowledge.

Second, they should think about whether they are willing to work under pressure. For example, if you want to be a designer, you have to start from the bottom and work your way up. You could be a lot of stress before you succeed.

Third, salary is also important because a career could be for life. You should earn enough to pay for your accommodation, transport and meals. And when you have a family, your expenses will increase significantly.

In conclusion, we need to consider our interest, how much pressure we are willing to take and the salary before deciding a career. So, make the right choice and have a happy life.
