True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Read the article. Then answer T for True or F for False.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" Kids hear this question from the time they are very
young. They will answer with anything from "dancer" to "firefighter" with complete confidence.
However, as we get older, this question becomes more difficult to answer. Some young people
don't know what they want to do after high school or college. So, how do they decide?
One way to choose a job is to look at today's job market. What jobs are in demand? Which fields
are growing? Two fields that are currently growing are health care and web or software
development. In health care, hospitals and doctor's offices are always looking for nurses and other
health care professionals. These jobs are good for people who enjoy helping others, and they
usually pay well.
Software developers think about computer users' needs and make software programs to help them.
Web developers create websites and make sure people can use them easily. Both types of jobs also
pay well, and about 25% of developers are self-employed. This means they can work from home
or work flexible hours.
Some people may never learn the answer to the question, "What do you want to be when you grow
up." Others may only discover the best job for them much later in life. Until then, they still need to
find a job, and popular fields, such as health care and computer technology, are a good place to
start.

Dreams for the Future

"I want my students to do something that they love," Ms. Chen says. To help her students think
about their dreams for the future, Ms. Chen often asks guests to come to her class and talk about
their careers. The guests help Ms. Chen's students think about what they want to do when they
finish school.
Last week a firefighter talked about her job. "I love my job!" she said. "It's dangerous, but it's
challenging and fun, too. It allows me to be outside and meet a lot of people." She told the class
that people with jobs like hers have to be healthy and strong. They need to be easygoing and able
to work in teams. They save people and animals - but that's not all they do. They also teach people
about the dangers of fires.
All of Ms. Chen's students want jobs that are exciting and interesting. Three of her students plan
on working as police officers after going to college. Two students want to work with computers, so
they're going to study web design after school. One young man wants a job that allows him to sing
and act in front of people. Another young woman loves science and says, "I want to be an
astronaut and become one of the first people to go to another planet." Ms. Chen believes her
students can do anything, and her advice to them is to be patient and work hard.
