The Giver Blog Post

In the Giver, community members had to be assigned their future career for their future life at age twelve. I think twelve year olds are not ready to choose their future careers for the rest of their lives because they might not be mature about. I really think that they should choose their jobs or careers at the age of seventeen or higher because they will have to apply for it and they would have to know a lot of things about that job in order to get it. Also, you need to have experience at had to go to college to study that career. Twelve year olds would never... never have any experience on that job whatsoever. Twelve year olds would have to somehow have some background of that job and do a lot of research and somehow impress that particular boss of that company. 


If I was twelve and had to choose my future career right now and have that job for the rest of my life is a computer engineer. I would like to have that job because some shortcuts and descriptions of computers and I am really good when it comes to fixing viruses and using new technology. Once I use it once, about a month later, thanks to the Internet, and some neighborhood friends, I know almost everything about that system and the company that made the technology in order for it to work. It also works for gaming technology too. I know applications, shortcuts thanks to my English teacher. Some of them are Ctrl+C= Copy, Ctrl+V=Paste, and many more. What would you want your career to be when you reach eighteen?
