Read the passage and choose the best answer A,B,C or D
It is not easy to choose a career today Hundreds of students are leaving schools and universities every
year to seek employment in the various professions, though employment opportunities are not increasing proportionately As a result, there is a lot of unemployment
The inability of the various professions to absorb all those seeking employment makes the choice of a career more difficult Before one leaves school or university, one has many plans, confident that choosing a career will not be difficult But when, the time comes to choose a career, one finds that there are others with better qualifications waiting to enter the same profession Disillusioned, one then looks for any kind of employment In this way, many who wanted to become police inspectors or field assistants in the rubber estates in this country, become teachers instead, and many who wanted to become teachers, have become clerks
The lack of institutions where people could acquire the skills necessary for a particular career makes the choice of a career even more difficult For example, if one desires to become a journalist, one has to receive some training and instruction in a school of journalism But if there is no such school, one is compelled to think of some other career
