Question

What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others.   71   A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.   72   So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. __73   Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

  74  If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.  75  Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

A. He may do well in his future work.

B. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist.

C. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.

D. These may show strengths that you can use in your work.

E. Your school must have taught you the skills.

F. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.

G. If you have had a part-time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it.
