择业指南：给刚踏入职场的新手们的启示

 　　许多刚毕业的学生都希望能得到一份薪水好的工作，那么什么样的行业或领域才能提供良好的薪水待遇呢？科技飞速发展的今天，某些行业或领域依然是效益繁荣，虽然数十年风雨，但依然是职场中的骄人行业。看看文中的建议，相信会对刚踏入职场的新手们以启示。

　　The best paying jobs for graduate entrants are in production, manufacturing and engineering. All these functions pay at least 5 percent above the general market average for jobs at graduate entry level. But it is also important to take a longer--term view and consider those functions that will continue to pay well as you gain experience and move up the career ladder.

　　对于那些刚刚毕业的入行者而言，薪水最优厚的行业有生产、制造以及工程等行业，这些行业支付的薪水比总体就业市场平均值高出至少5个百分点。但是，最重要的是要从长计议，要考虑到随着你从业经验的丰富和职业水平的提高，这些行业能够继续支付优厚的薪水。

　　At the next level up from graduate entry-the qualified¹ or seasoned professional-the engineering, IT and legal professions pay best, again each averaging more than 5 percent above the general market average. If we put these two career levels together, engineering seems to be best for above-average money initially², and above-average money as you move up the career ladder.

　　从刚刚毕业的入行者上一个台阶----成为一名合格的或者经验丰富的职业人士后，工程、IT和法律行业报酬最为丰厚，且收入水平都比总体市场平均值再高出5个百分点。如果我们把前后这两个职业层次放在一起，粗浅看来工程行业好象是能够在一开始就获得更高收入，并且随着职业层次的提升保持更高收入。

　　But, for long-term maximum gain, the legal profession, although difficult to get into, offers pay substantially above average for qualified professionals-more than 10 percent above the norm once you qualify. At upper levels of the career ladder, this is comfortably the best sector³ to work in if you want good money.

　　但是，就长期最大收益来说，律师行业虽然较难进入，然而一旦成为合格的法律职业者，薪水比一般人要高出10个以上的百分点。在高层次职业上，如果你想要挣到更多的钱，律师这个行业可谓是最佳的。

　　Jobs areas to avoid are in human resources and customer services, which pay between 5 percent and 10 percent below the over all average at entry and later levels.

　　要尽量避免的工作领域是人力资源和客户服务，在这些领域不管是对于新入行者还是经验丰富的从业者，获得的报酬一般低于所有行业总体水平5到10个百分点。
