　　Today’s economy is diverse and full of opportunities. While there are some people that are able to study a subject or skill and then upon graduation jump right into their career, more and more people are choosing a less traditional path to their careers. Before starting their careers, they try many different kinds of jobs. I believe having many different kinds of jobs helps establish a foundation for success in one’s future career.

　　The most compelling reason that recent graduates nowadays are choosing to works many different kinds of jobs is because it helps them figure out what they truly want to do. People are realizing that if you find a career you love, you will not have to work a day in your life. In the long run, this is a very smart move. If people take the time to test out many different jobs, they will know which one is the job they want to do for the rest of their lives. I know many people in older generations that talk about how they did not have a choice in their career. They always explain how they started teaching or nursing simply because that was the best option. They are not happy with their careers and with regret that they could did not choose the best career. Working many jobs helps young workers determine their future careers.

　　In addition, gaining experience in many different kinds of jobs helps make people more competitive¹. When companies hire employees, they look for applicants² with diverse backgrounds and a range of experiences. This is practical business sense, since a person with many different experiences can be expected to do many different kinds of jobs. For example, an information technology company cannot just hire employees who know about computers. They must hire people who are familiar with the content. If the company is responsible for creating an educational database³ for history teachers, having employees who have had prior experience in education and history are the most valuable. By holding many different jobs before starting a career, a person can be more competitive in the job market.

　　Once you start your career, having a diverse background will help you accomplish more with your job. For example, my father first worked as a waiter before he became a writer for an advertisement agency. One of his first accounts was for the restaurant T.G.I.F. My father used his experience as a waiter as inspiration⁴ for the advertisement campaign they ran. The restaurant was so pleased with my father’s work that they signed an exclusive⁵ contract with his company. Soon after that he was promoted and later went on to become the youngest manager of the creative department in the history of this advertising⁶ agency. Using knowledge from past jobs gives you the perspective to rise quickly in your career.

　　Holding many different jobs before starting your career is a smart thing to do. Building your resume⁷ with a range of jobs helps you decide which career is best for you. The various experiences not only make you more competitive than other job applicants, but it also helps you be a more valuable and resourceful employee. (Anna, 529 words)
