Occupation is a kind of daily regular labor, the purpose of which is to exchange labor income (to maintain the needs of life, and also symbolize social status and reputation). It is important to me. I think I need to consider future career planning now.

A career is a lifelong journey of work and professional development in a particular field or occupation. It involves the pursuit of employment, advancement, and personal fulfillment through a series of jobs, roles, or positions within a chosen industry or profession. A career typically encompasses the accumulation of skills, experiences, and achievements over time, with the goal of achieving personal and professional success and satisfaction. I think the career is the plan for my future job, it's really very important, I think we need to do a plan for our future job, because the major of your university is connected to your future job, and start think about your own career is helpful for you to manage your life in the university.

In my opinion, career is something I wanna do for a long term, what I enjoy to do as a a job. It’s means the living style I choose. I think it’s important for me cuz having my career can help me to get the things I wanna have in the future such as the house I wanna live in, the clothes i wanna wear and the cars i wanna drive. I think it’s necessary to start thinking about my career that i wanna do. It doesn’t means that i gonna start working on that now but its a good thing go think about and to get a general idea

I think ideal is a very important thing, because only with ideal can there be everything in the future, ideal is like the goal of our struggle, support us to move forward. However, ideal and dream are not the same, ideal is a chance to be realized, while dream may not be realized, I think it is necessary to prepare for the future from now on. I can give an example to illustrate this matter. I did not know my goals and ideals a long time ago, which caused me to be dizzy every day. I did not know what I was going to do, and I only followed the instructions of my teachers and parents every day.

My ideal definition of a career is that realize my value through my own work. It is important for me because I think the meaning of life is to realize our values, so it is necessary to start thinking about my own career now, and we are supposed to choose our majors for our future careers. We need to consider what field we would like to work in so that we can work hard toward our ideal careers.

For me career is very important, although it would be too early for me to think about it now but a good career depends on my income. So I don't think it's a bad thing to think about it early.

My definition of career ideal is that we seek our own position in the society and want to be. For me, this is very important because it can inspire me and make me work hard for it. I think I should consider my career now, so as to bring me better choices in the future
