Young people should follow in their parents` footsteps when choosing a profession. My Opinion Essay. Some people think that young people should follow in their parents` footsteps when choosing a profession The Choice of our future profession is a very exciting and important process. Some people think that it is better to follow parents` footsteps when choosing a profession. I agree with them. Firstly, your parents` are always ready to share their experience with you, to help you, to give you some advice. Secondly, you knowwhat to expect from your future profession. You must have seen how your parents usually work, you know about all advantages and disadvantages of their profession etc. Thirdly, it makes family relationships better. You will always have something to discuss with your family. I think, The same professions bring people together. On the other hand, some people claim that if son`s or daughter`s and their parents` professions are the same it may destroy good family relationships. for example, sometimes parents` control and desire to help become annoying and intrusive. also there are a lot professional situations where our and our parents` opiniondiffer and it causes problems not only at work but in the family. It makes sense, but such situations cannot affect the family if it is really loving one. If you love your parents you can put up with their advice or control, because they just want to help you. Besides, it is not a good idea to bring work problems into the family. Despite other people`s opinion, I am still convinced that following parents` footsteps is useful, it improves relationships of the family, gives us some confidence in our future. I believe, even if some difficulties appear, they can be overcome.
