白領(lǐng)困惑:求穩(wěn)定還是重興趣 -新概念英語(yǔ)

　　現(xiàn)如今，就業(yè)壓力不斷增大，越來越多的人被迫只能做自己不敢興趣的工作。但大家有沒有考慮過，所做的工作不是自己的興趣所在的話，是要求穩(wěn)還是要冒險(xiǎn)去另辟一片天地?

　　問：我現(xiàn)在正在攻讀會(huì)計(jì)學(xué)碩士，目前已經(jīng)修完第一學(xué)期的課程?，F(xiàn)在，我正在考慮轉(zhuǎn)到精算系，因?yàn)槲矣X得會(huì)計(jì)很無聊。在目前的經(jīng)濟(jì)環(huán)境下，我到底是應(yīng)該從事我所感興趣的領(lǐng)域，還是追求穩(wěn)定的職業(yè)呢?

　　Q: I am doing a master's degree in accounting and have completed my first semester. Now I'm thinking of shifting to actuarial studies, as I don't find accounting very exciting. In the current economy, should I pursue something I feel passionate about or go for a field with more job security?

　　答：在當(dāng)前的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)下，無論你從事何種職業(yè)，就業(yè)穩(wěn)定都很難找到穩(wěn)定的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。專家們表示，光是追求預(yù)計(jì)能夠帶來穩(wěn)定就業(yè)的領(lǐng)域是不夠的。你希望追求的方向應(yīng)該是你所熱愛的、能夠借以維持生計(jì)的職業(yè)，并且能夠運(yùn)用到一些你可以輕松轉(zhuǎn)換到其它領(lǐng)域的技能。

　　A: Job security is extremely hard to come by these days, no matter what profession you choose. It isn't enough to pursue a field with perceived stability, say the experts. You'll want to find something you feel passionate about, can make a living doing and that involves using skills you can easily apply to other fields.

　　Sustainable Circles Corp.的總裁兼首席執(zhí)行長(zhǎng)詹姆斯·愛爾森(James Elsen)表示，要想取得事業(yè)上的成功，熱愛是必要條件，但并非充份條件。追求你所熱愛的職業(yè)能夠?yàn)槟銕韯?chuàng)造力和活力，而這些都是從事某項(xiàng)你自己都感到無所謂的工作所無法得到的東西。Sustainable Circles Corp。是sustainlane.com的出版商，這是一份“綠色生活”指南，同時(shí)也發(fā)布一些空缺職位。

　　'Passion is a necessary but not sufficient condition for success in the workplace,' says James Elsen, president and chief executive officer of Sustainable Circles Corp., publisher of sustainlane.com, a 'green living' guide that includes job listings. 'Pursuing what you love will give you access to creativity and energy that you would not otherwise be able to tap while slogging to a job you are indifferent about.'
