Part 3

In your country, what jobs (or, careers) are the most popular choices among young people?

I think to be a sport player is a popular choice among young people because like many famous sport players are rich and I think nobody dislikes money. Moreover, the famous sport players will bring some positive energy to fans who like sports.

How do people choose their careers (or jobs)?

I think people choose their careers online or just go to big company to introduce and explain how we could do in the future when we join this company.

I think people choose their careers based on online information. Or they might go to the big companies to make an introduction about themselves. They will introduce how they can help in the future if joining the company. 

Do you think it’s easy (or difficult) for people to choose a career (or job)?

From For this question, I have two opinions by myself. I think if you are highly educated and resourceful, it will be easier for you to find a job than other people. And if you are not highly educated, it will be more difficult for you to find a job.
