  Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your selections may have changed from when you were in primary school.

  However, it seems that career options are not only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers and bankers were some of the most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow and medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.

  Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their fame may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most admired members of society, and they make good money. Joining these highly attractive professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility (社会流动性).

  It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. It is increasingly becoming one of the most important factors of a successful career. British young men list the UK business tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models "for their money", just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to "fortune".

However, not every child has the makings of a doctor, lawyer or banker. There are those who see fulfillment (满足感)and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality (个性)into their career options. A variety of unconventional (非传统的) jobs--- coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家), waiter at a fast food restaurant--- are among teenagers' career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.

  With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training. You have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.

A. high pay B. upward social mobility
