年轻人频繁更换工作的原因及优劣势
Many young people in the workforce today change their jobs or careers every few years. What do you think are the reasons for this? Do the advantages of this outweigh its disadvantages?
在过去，更换一次工作是很难的，多数人都是在一个岗位上工作到退休，但现在刚毕业几年的年轻人如果没有换几次工作都会觉得自己吃亏了。那么，这到底是什么原因造成的呢？对于这种原因分析的题目，成都雅思培训建议大家还是从三个层次（即物质层次、心理层次和社会层次）去思考，就容易把思路梳理得比较有条理。
就年轻人更换工作而言，第一个理由肯定是为了挣取更高的工资，获得更好的发展机会；其次，从心理上讲，很多年轻人愿意去尝试新工作，认为这样可以结识不同领域的朋友，增加人生体验；最后，从社会角度看，由于服务行业的兴旺，电脑技术的发展，客观上也为年轻人频繁更换工作创造了可能性。那么，频繁更换工作对年轻人来说是好还是坏呢？从好处上讲，这的确可以增加年轻人的工作经历，从而提高他们未来在就业市场上的竞争力，但也有坏处，比如无法在某个领域成为最顶级的专家，从而失去更多发展机会。
本题审题时，要专注两个关键词，即“年轻人”和“频繁更换工作”。
我们一起来看看下面这篇高分范文，学习作者的行文逻辑和语言点。
Not long ago, most people would choose to stay on the same job for the entire life, but today young people prefer to try different things and hop from one job to another.
In my view, there mainly are three reasons why young people are doing so. At the most basic level, young people find that frequent job changing can often bring them the pay rise they expect. My friend Edward is a perfect example. As a program designer, he has worked for three different companies in the past five years, and now he earns almost five times as much as he did in the first company. This would not have been possible if he had not been mobile enough. The second reason is that by doing different jobs or careers, young people can increase their work experience and eventually become more versatile. This may give them a competitive edge, especially in today’s job market where an all-round employee is always preferred. Finally, changing jobs frequently nowadays has been made possible by the booming service industry and rapidly developing information technology and transport.
Needless to say, job-hopping may be a bad thing if it is not well-considered. Shifting from job to job may prove to be a waste of time and opportunity since this may easily make a person Jack of all trades and master of none. As we know, the person who can provide the most professional service for the company enjoys the best opportunity of promotion. However, if a person does not find the job he is doing interesting or fulfilling, then quitting the job and getting a new one could be a win-win strategy both for the companies and employees. For the companies, “new bloods” often mean stronger labor force. For the employees, a new job means a new opportunity.
In light of the above discussion, I would conclude that no change of jobs is wasteful as long as it is carefully considered. Holding on to a job that we do not like is a crime against our precious life.
