These days, many parents have difficulty giving career advice to their children so what they experienced in the past was not the same as now. Changes in the job market are such frequent that it is not easy to predict the job market. Although machines are taking over many jobs, several parents are not confident about suggesting to their children which job to do. Besides, parents whose have straightforward career paths may not be able to persuade their children to stay in a job for life as they did. Since new jobs don’t always help young people earn much money, they still try them though they are interested in trying new things. However, choosing a career is so an important decision that young people need a lot of advice. Though, parents should keep an inquiring mind about the current job situation to help them with this.
