Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been

caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is

contributing to the problem of extinction Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some

countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals

reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another response to the increase in animal

extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species This has had

some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice

of friends to where you live Here are just a few of the factors to consider

Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision You may want to

begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses Think about the classes,

hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel ? Do you want to work with children ? Are you more suited to solitary or

cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to

you

Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you

cannot accept Then rank them in order of importance to you The setting of the job is one factor

to take into account You may not want to sit at a desk all day If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields is concentrated in certain regions Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission

Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it Some industries evoke positive

or negative associations The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors Another point to consider is that

as you get mature, you will likely to develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities The choice you make today need not be your final one
