Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

It is not easy to choose a career today. Hundreds of students are leaving schools and

universities every year to seek employment in the various professions, though employment

opportunities are not increasing proportionately. As a result, there is a lot of unemployment.

The inability of the various professions to absorb all those seeking employment makes the

choice of a career more difficult. Before one leaves school or university, one has many plans,

confident that choosing a career will not be difficult. But when, the time comes to choose a

career, one finds that there are others with better qualifications waiting to enter the same

profession. Disillusioned, one then looks for any kind of employment. In this way, many

who wanted to become police inspectors or field assistants in the rubber estates in this

country, become teachers instead, and many who wanted to become teachers, have become

shop assistants.

The lack of institutions where people could acquire the skills necessary for a particular

career makes the choice of a career even more difficult. For example, if one desires to

become a journalist, one has to receive some training and instruction in a school of

journalism. But if there is no such school, one is compelled to think of some other career.
