6. Once I choose a career I'll be stuck in it forever

　　传言6. 我的职业就是我的终身事业。

　　Not true. If you are unsatisfied in your career for any reason, you can always change it. You'll be in good company. Many people change careers several times over the course of their lifetimes.

　　这种观念是不对的。如果你因任何理由对目前的工作不满意，你都可以随时转换工作。你会在好的公司工作的。很多人都在自己的职业生涯里多次转换过职业。

　　7.If I change careers my skills will go to waste

　　传言7. 如果改变职业了，技能就无用武之地了。

　　Your skills are yours to keep. You can take them from one job to another. You may not use them in the exact same way, but they won't go to waste.

　　你的技能是你自己的。你可以在任意的职业里游刃有余地运用。你可能不会每次都使用同样的方式，但它们不会被荒废。

　　8. If my best friend (or sister, uncle, or neighbor) is happy in a particular field, I will be too

　　传言8. 如果我的好朋友(或家人，邻居)对某一个职业领域混得很好，我也会的。

　　Everyone is different and what works for one person won't necessarily work for another, even if that other person is someone with whom you have a lot in common. If someone you know has a career that interests you, look into it, but be aware of the fact that it may not necessarily be a good fit for you.

　　每个人都是不一样的，这份工作合适他/她并不意味着合适你，即使那个人跟你在很多方面都很相似。如果你所认识的人所在的职业领域让你很感兴趣，但你要意识到它并不一定就合适你。

　　#9 All I have to do is pick an occupation... Things will fall into place after that

　　9. 我该做的就是择业，然后事情就能水到渠成了。

　　Choosing an career is a great start, but there's a lot more to do after that. A Career Action Plan is a road map that takes you from choosing a career to becoming employed in that occupation to reaching your long-term career goals.

　　择业是一个很重要的决定，但择业后还有很多事情要处理。“职业发展行动计划”是指引你从择业到就业、再实现长期职业目标的指路明灯。

　　#10 There's very little I can do to learn about an occupation without actually working in it

　　10. 不在岗位上，我实在不知道如何去了解这份工作。

　　While first hand experience is great, there are other ways to explore an occupation. You can read about it either in print resources or online. You can also interview those working in that field.

　　当然第一手经验很有用，但还要很多方法可以探索这份工作。你可以浏览文本资源或网络资源。你也可以跟相关职业人士面谈。
