Translation
As we change in physical abilities, personal circumstances and maturity, so do our wants, needs and preferences change in terms of what we like doing in our work. Our work environment is also far from static. The supply and demand for certain sets of skills and experiences fluctuates. Occupations disapper and new ones emerge as technology influences the manner in which work is carried out. Our economy—both nationally and globally—affects the prosperity or otherwise of different industries and, in turn, the requirements of employers for trained people.
就我们工作中喜欢什么而言，如同我们的体力，个人状况以及成熟度会变化一样，我们的需求和偏爱同样会发生变化。我们的工作环境也远非一成不变。某些技能和经验的供求时涨时落。因为技术发展影响着工作方式，有些职业消失了，而新的职业出现了。我们的经济——不论是在全国范围还是在全球范围——影响着不同工业的兴衰，转而又影响到雇主对训练有素人才的需求。
