雅思写作真题：年轻人经常改变工作的原因和利弊

Many young people choose to change their job after few years. Why? Do the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?

In contemporary society, youngsters in increasing number decide to transform their occupations after a few years’ work. The reasons will be elaborated on in the following passage, and for this issue, my personal view is that both upsides and downsides exist in changing a job.

From my own perspective, the causes of this phenomenon should be classified into two main categories. For one thing, most graduates give top priority to payment as well as reputations in pursuing their very first job but ignore their real interests and capacities, which eventually haunt them. For another, quite a few youngsters could plan future wisely. Their gift and potential in their work has been gradually revealed, which is coupled with other fantastic skills, such as good interpersonal relationship and excellent capabilities in problem-solving. All of the elements mentioned above will pave the way for another decent job and enable them to change the current job readily.

The pros and cons of this practice are contingent upon the influence it brings to people. The proponents argue that the accumulation of knowledge in different areas will contribute to the development of characteristics. For example, people may learn some communication skills in a Human Resource position while professional skills in a basic position. Nevertheless, crisis actually hides itself in the transformation to a new job, since people have to go through an uncomfortable adaptation period but may find what they learn from the previous job may not be adopted in a totally new field.

To sum up, young people want to change their jobs because of the lack of interests in current jobs as well as searching for better working opportunities in another job. It is obvious that both merits and demerits exist, thus the young generation should have a clear view of whether to choose a new occupation or not.
