Choosing a Career After High School

1.Start thinking early about what kind of work you may want to explore after high school，remembering that you can change careers several times throughout your work life．Your exact choice should take into consideration your interests，personality and personal goals．Read on for some general options to think about when you are choosing a career after high school．

Take a personality and interest test．

The Keirsey Temperament Sorter assumes that you have your own patterns of attitude and actions that are as unique to you as the build of your body．The Keirsey test gives you 71 multiple-choice questions to determine exactly how you interact with the world．

2.Careers in the professions and most government work require a college education，with a minimum of a bachelor's degree．Other careers do not require a college education，but rather offer on-the-job training and start you out in an entry-level position from which you can grow．

3.Take vocationaltraining courses．Vocational training prepares you for a specific job and can usually be completed in six months to one year．This may not be a very good option if you struggled with your grades in high school．Vocational training programs are usually modeled after academic training，but are much more hands-on as they allow you to actually do the work while you learn．

Join the military．

4.The military pays for your future university education and offers you an attractive enlistment(應(yīng)征入伍) bonus．You will be trained to learn a variety of skills，so be prepared for a highly structured environment that demands self-discipline and hard work．

Start a business．It is important that you enter a career that makes you want to devote yourself wholly to．

5.This option takes serious discipline and focus，and it requires you to learn basic business skills in addition to the skills of your particular kind of work．

A． Personality varies from person to person．

B． You become qualified to join at the age of 18．

C． Find out the educational requirements for your career choices．

E． There are many good online tests that will help you discover what kind ofcareer suits your personality．

F． If you cannot find the right fit in an existing job，then you may be able to create your job through self-employment．

G． When you graduate from high school，you can either choose to continueyour schooling or pursue a career，with all its seemingly endless choices．

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.

In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡；打盹) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．

D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health．

The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts（文科） in higher education isn't an either/or proposition（命題），although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM（science，technology，engineering，maths）-related fields can make it seem that way．

The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training，but also states firmly that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central components of America's educational system at all levels．Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society，become creative leaders，and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides．

Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates' job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs．Under these circumstances，it's natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some，though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often，in fact，lead to employment and success in the long run．Indeed，according to surveys，employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well，think critically，research creatively，and communicate easily．

Moreover，students should be prepared not just for their first job，but for their 4th and 5th jobs，as there's little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers．The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible．The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science，arts，and technology—to solve the problems of the future，and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves，will be helpful to them and the United States．

1.What does the latest congressional report suggest？

A． STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.

B． Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.

C． The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students' spiritual life.

D． The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance．

2.What kind of job applicants do employers look for？

A． Those who have a strong sense of responsibility.

B． Those who are good at solving practical problems.

C． Those who are likely to become innovative leaders.

D． Those who have received anall-round education.

3.What advice does the author give to college students？

A． Seize opportunities to explore their potential．

B． Try to take a variety of practical courses．

C． Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems．

D． catch asmany chances as possible to change their jobs.
