“I’ve always had a pretty clear idea of what I want to do.” says Mary, a middle school student who
wants to become a director some day. You may not be as sure of your career (职业) as Mary. But you can start thinking about and planning for your future career. The following article helps middle school students plan for careers. Explore (探索) your interests
Many middle school students don’t yet know what they want to do. But in fact, students may change their minds several times, perhaps even after they enter society. And some of tomorrow’s
careers might not exist (存在) today. Focusing on just one job in middle school isn’t necessary. But
looking into the kinds of careers you might like can help you succeed. ①
Understanding what you enjoy and what you’re good at is the most important step in exploring careers. If you don’t know what you want to do, you should ask yourself what you like to learn about. If you really like science, what do you enjoy about it — the lab work or the research? It’s important to think about what you like to do, because work will finally be a big part of your life. Discover possible careers
Once you’ve thought about the subjects and activities you like best, the next step is to look for careers that put those interests to use. If you love sports, for example, you might consider a career as a P.E. teacher or a soccer coach. If you like English, a career as an English teacher, a translator or a travelling guide might be a good choice.

After discovering possible jobs, you’ll want to learn more about them. Talking directly to workers on the phone, by email, or through online discussion can help you get information about what they do. Even meeting with them in person is helpful.
