Is there hardly anyone who is free to choose a job according to his or her talents or interest? The speaker thinks so, and I tend to agree. It is true that nowadays it seems to be increasingly difficult for one to find a job that suits his or her talents or interests perfectly well. Serveral points bellow may help to explain this phenomenon.
First of all, in order to survive in the society, sometimes one has to abandon his or her talent or interests to find a job which is relatively stable and decent, and could afford one a sense of security. We live in a world where we need to sell our labor to the society for our bread. Sometimes, some people's interests or talents cannot be considered as means of making money. For exmaple, my friend Yi likes reading but hates giving speeches or writting, the best job he wishes to get is to read day and night. But there is no such a job requires people to read without giving any feedback. And sometimes, a job one truly loves may pay too little for one to count on. I like repairing motorcycles, but in China, the country I live in, a motorcyle mechanic earns less than 2000 yuan per month, which is hardly enough for basic living cost that one need to subsist in major cities like Shanghai, let alone saving money for getting married or buying a house. Therefore, following the economic trend is an major reason that one choose a job that has nothing to do with his or her talents or interests.
Secondly, one's talents or interests of a certain area does not ensure that one will love the job in the certain area. In other words, just because one loves or has talent in a particular area does not necessarily mean that one would definitely enjoy working in that area. Sometimes, doing certain things as a hobby is quite different from doing almost the same things as a job. A job has more to require than a hobby does, such as responsibility, professional ethics and so forth. My friend Dan's experience could serve to illustrate this point. Dan and I were both very crazy about motorcycles. Three years ago, he chose to be a motorcycle mechanic in spite of the lousy pay. Now, he always complains about his wrong choice. He tells me that it is true he loves bikes, but no one likes twisting wrenches all day long, and having a pair of dirty and oily hands that will never be washed clean. He also tells me that during years of working as a mechanic and bike seller, he has developed a mercenary attitude toward bikes, when he see a wonderful bike, instead of thinking like other lovers like "what a great bike to have and ride", he thought "How much can I sell this toad for?" It is analogous to the fact that if a man who likes eating potato chip relies solely on potato chip as food everyday, he will probably hate it.
Finally, we have to ask a question-do everyone in the society have a special talent or an interest? Our society consists of all kinds of people-people have great talents, people have no talent, people have strong interests on a particular area, and people have no obvious interests in any area. There is no denying the fact that some people have a strong and marvelous talent in a certain area, like Mozart who were able to play piano at fluently at the age of ten. However, geniuses always belong to minority, there are more people in our society who are mediocre and do not have any speicial interest. They are just common people who want to lead a common life by finding a stable and relatively well-paid job. Therefore, how can we expect people to find jobs that are related to their talents or interests if they do not have any talent or interest?
To sum up, it is quite common at present that people work in a profession that has nothing to do with their talents or interests for the reason that people sometimes have to give up something in order to survive in the society, interests and talents cannot ensure that one will love a particular jobs, and there are many people in the world do not have particular talents or interests.
