Twelve is a very young age to decide your career option. But the fact is that 12 year olds can dream big. So what I'm going to say is that 12 year olds shouldn't pick their career. But what they should is to just start thinking about a career option. What they should also start doing is researching some jobs to see if you will get the amount of money you want etc. It looks like a daunting task for a 12 year old perspective but it is really not. To me it is a simple thing but at the same time I am thinking oh no what am I going to do. But a problem that will come in choosing a job.will be many things. For instance you start saying to yourself that if I choose the wrong job what will I do, will I be okay, will the people around be okay etc. Some ways that a lot of tracked into their careers are mainly the people around. Like for example your mom and dad can say being a doctor is the best job in the world. When they say that the 12 year old will start to think to themselves that okay if my mom or dad say it is a good job then it is a good job. But that is not the only thing that gets 12 year olds minds going to choose a career. They can be provoked by the jobs on the T.V, newspaper, magazine and many other things.
A job career that would be great for me is being a professional basketball player. Well being in the NBA would be a wonderful experience. For instance you will go to many place that you have never been to. Like for example I have never been to Los Angeles so if i was in the NBA I would go to Los Angeles probably 6 times in a year depending what team I might or might not be on. What also provoked me into wanting to be in the NBA is that I am playing a lot of basketball in my childhood so far, whether it be playing in a driveway or playing on a recreation team that would be one of my main and most important reasons that I would like to be in the NBA. The final thing that provoked me into wanting to be in the NBA is that I just love the game so much. I have pretty much dedicated my life to the game of basketball. I have worked hard at it and I just don't want to be in the NBA for money I just want to prove to myself that I am the best of the best which in this case is the NBA players. So as they say if you find a job that you are really passionate about you will feel like your not even working.
