The choice of profession is very difficult for the person who just following his parents and do nothing for his ideas and liking, dis-linking. It is not an easy job for such people especially although a tough job for all others as well. Every young man has to face this question at least once in his life, "What profession shall I choose?" Various professions require special skill, qualities and unless a man possesses the requisite foremost qualifications for a profession it would be worse than useless for his to enter it and just to waste his precious life time just in a trial. Educated young men find it hard to choose a suitable profession by which to earn a decent living. They are attracted by lucrative professions and join one or the other without thinking whether it would suit them or not and the result is failure. Sometimes, they lose their heart and give up their efforts.

Now we take the example of an advocate. He must have great courage, argument powers with cogent reasons and logical, law support, self-command as well. A shopkeeper must be active, tactful, wide awake, smart to work, polite and calculating. A doctor should possess presence of mind and practical skill and sympathy. A teacher, of course, must have brains and patience, but should on no account show any weakness for money, for filthy lucre. A Government Servant must be obedient hardworking, regular and rule obeying like a machine not to resist keeping in view his sweet will.

The great fault of our society is that, unless a qualifies for a clerkship, or for an overseer ship or becomes a doctor, he is considered worthless. If he can become a musician, a mechanic, a gymnast, a sailor or a soldier, why not train him for one of these professions for which he is fit? But perhaps, the parents and boys are not entirely to blame in this matter. They do not get proper opportunities to choose right profession for them...
