It is said that there are thousands of different kinds of jobs in the world. But choosing the right one itself often worries young people.
"Finding a job" is not the same as "choosing a job". Many young people end up in jobs that they are not suitable for. Here are a few steps to help you choose a job.
First, it is important to know what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you better than others and what you are interested in. There is a difference between an interest and a skill. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse not a big dog, that is a skill.
Then ask yourself a question, "Of the following three skills—skill with people, skill with information and skill with things, which is my best skill?"
After finding out your best skill, the next step is to research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends what they think of the work they do.
The last step is to trust your own ideas! It is your own life. Just find the job you really enjoy doing.

Blacksmithing (打铁) is one of the oldest jobs in the world. Its history goes back over 3,500 years. Now, when we think of a blacksmith, we might think of someone putting shoes on horses. But that's a farrier (蹄铁工)! Farriers and blacksmiths are different, and farriers even learn skills from blacksmiths.
Blacksmiths work with iron and steel. They melt (熔化), shape, and join these metals (金属) to make things like gates, tools, and railings (栅栏). They heat the metal in a forge (a hot place) or a furnace (火炉). When the metal gets hot enough, it softens and melts. Then the blacksmith can turn it into any shape.
☆ The anvil (铁砧)
Next, the blacksmith puts the hot metal on an anvil. An anvil is a big, flat-topped metal block (金属板). The hot metal sits there. The blacksmith uses the hammer (锤子) to make it into the right shape before it cools and becomes hard.
☆ What to wear
Blacksmiths hardly wear uniforms, but they always wear a leather apron. This apron keeps their clothes clean and protects them from hot metal burns.
☆ ▲
You can learn this job by working with an experienced blacksmith or studying in school. You can also work and learn at the same time, which is called an apprenticeship (学徒期).
☆ Skills needed
Blacksmiths lift and work with heavy iron and steel, so they need to be strong. They must finish projects without giving up halfway.
☆ Where they work
Blacksmiths work in factories or workshops. They have big open fire pits to melt metals. These coal fires can reach a high temperature—20 times hotter than boiling water (100℃)!
