What’s your dream job? How much do you know about it? A group of students from Tianjin found a very common (普遍的) problem among young teenagers: Most of them have almost no ideas about their job plans as there is too little help from school or family.
To offer teenagers helpful advice on jobs, the students from Tianjin TEDA NO. 1 Middle School started a project called “Dianzhi Chengshi (点职成诗)”. “Our survey shows that 72% of students want to know more about different jobs. Doctors, accountants and lawyers are the top three,” said Wang Xinran, 16, the project leader.
According to students’ needs, the team interviewed 32 excellent workers with different jobs and put their interviews online. These workers shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs further. “We also invited the workers to give speeches in our school. In this way, students could have a chance to talk to them face to face,” said Wang.
Team member Lu Jinyan said his most impressive interview was with a photographer. “I used to think being photographers was cool and romantic (浪漫的). But now I realize that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather or broken cameras. They also need to communicate with different people. This is not easy.”
But the project doesn’t mean to disappoint (使失望) students by telling them the truth (事实). “We want to show the workers’ love and spirit of never giving up instead of the bad sides,” said group member Zhao Yajie. “The project’s name means to turn a career into a poem. We believe working is not just about bread and butter. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can let students know that.”
