Not doubt today"s labor market is not what it was years ago. We must have a clear understanding of the changes in the situation and make a corresponding shift of our psychology and expectation. There"s no job that is valueless and neither rhyme nor reason. With a sober mind we start our career and a great pickup is waiting for us.
God helps those who help themselves. There"re plenty of opportunities in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and qualified highly can make use of them to achieve their purposes. Chance favors the minds that are prepared. Somewhere under the stars, God has a job for us to do, and nobody else can do it and it"s really worthwhile and it pays off. Some of us must find our place by trial and error. It can take time, with dead ends along the way. But we should not get discouraged just because others seem more skilled. Usually it"s not raw talent but drive that makes the difference. We must be the master of our fate and captain of our career ship.

Should Teachers Be Evaluated by Students?
Teachers often get a chance to evaluate the knowledge of their students. The situation now has changed. Schools allow students to evaluate the work of their teachers. It is an effective way to improve the quality of teaching.
First of all, students would have great benefit from such a survey. If students are not satisfied with a teacher, they would be offered a chance to express their opinion. In this way, they would have their say about their own education. Their opinion should not be accepted as an absolute truth, but should always be heard and taken into consideration. Secondly, students" evaluation can make teachers prepare better for their lectures or explain the content more clearly and with more enthusiasm. Therefore, students would be able to understand the lectures better and consequently get higher grades. Furthermore, students would be motivated to pay more attention during classes and to listen to lectures more regularly, since they will be asked to give their own opinion about what they"ve heard.
In conclusion, if students were asked by the school to evaluate their teachers, it would benefit both the teachers and students. Teachers would be obligated to constantly improve quality of their lectures to avoid bad evaluation. Students would enjoy better education, and they would pay more attention in classes, since they would be able to influence the quality of the classes.
