⑷In contrast, some people find more unusual jobs that are better suited to their talents and interests. A few years ago, when I was hiking in the Grand Canyon National Park in the USA, I met a man who had a very unusual job. He was living by a stream in a tent surrounded by technical equipment, and his only neighbours were the birds and squirrels in the nearby trees. His job was to check the noise pollution in the park zones. He loved camping, and his job was like a holiday for him. It was very easy to see that he enjoyed doing his job. There are many other people doing unusual jobs, such as a beer taster at a brewery, who probably consumes one liter of beer per year, a person who design fireworks displays and a person who tests rides for amusement parks. All these people love their jobs, which might not be popular, but are interesting regardless.

⑸Similarly, many ordinary jobs may look dull, but they are as essential as water to our society. As we go through our daily lives, we meet different kinds of people——shop assistants, who sell us things in shops; drivers, who drive trams and buses transporting us around the city; barbers, who cut our hair in barbershops and cleaners, who clear up our rubbish. These jobs may not seem very attractive, but they are all important. For example, if no one was to collect the rubbish, the streets would soon become very dirty and unpleasant, the number of rats would increase, and diseases would spread. These people, who perform such ordinary but vital tasks, allow people to go about their daily lives.

⑹When you think about your future career, remember that some glamorous jobs can be rather difficult and that some ordinary jobs can be quite important. All of them together, though, help society function.
