Ielts Essay - Careers 

A tug of war of sorts can be experienced between the young and the old generation when it comes to choosing a career for young. Even though some might quote several reasons to validate the right of young people while making a choice of profession, moms and dads, and mentors have their own concerns and feel it should be prerogative of elders.

Parents have conventionally been considered to be the right people when it comes to deciding about the professional domain their children should pursue. Older generation has all the experience and seasoning required to make such tricky choices, since they have been through the thin and thick of the life, and have borne the brunt of taking wrong decisions early on  in their lives. All parents and coaches have a very pious intent; to see their children attain success in their lives, and avoid entering into a profession that might not bring continuity.

Similarly, tutors are armed with a great amount of information about weaknesses and strengths of their pupils. It has been observed that teachers can give definitive direction to the tryst of the young people by hand picking the professional realm and equipping kids according to the expectations and requirements of the chosen fields.

However, young individuals should have a last say in what they would like to pursue and work in. After all it is matter connected to their future, and nobody has right to intervene. The times have always changed and with that have changed the requirements and expectations. Old people despite living through various phases may not have appropriate knowhow to negotiate challenges in present context.

To conclude, I personally feel that young people should be allowed to have a greater say in matter of choosing their future course of action even though they must seek advice in matters that can influence their professional performance.
