Every young man has to face the problem of the choice of the profession. On the correct solution of this problem depends his success and prosperity in life. Few young men are in a position to determine this for them. They must be guided in this matter by those who are superior to them in wisdom and experience. The parents and the teachers should perform this duty. They know their powers, and have studied their natural inclinations.

 

They are interested in their welfare and are better able to tell them what to do. A grown up young man, of course, can study his own inclinations and aptitudes and explain his own views to others. This would help his teachers and parents to decide the question to benefit.

 

Difference professions require different qualities. Unless a man possesses the requisite qualification for a profession, it would be worse than useless for him to enter it. Educated young men find it hard to choose a suitable profession by which to earn a decent liming. They are attracted by lucrative professions.

 

They join one or the other profession without thinking whether it would suit them or not. A lawyer must be astute, must have great argumentative powers, courage, self command and industry.A shopkeeper must be active, tactful, wide-awake.
