Question

【題目】Many of us might want to take on traditional jobs when we grow up, such as being a doctor or lawyer. However, there are many more choices than just these that are available today.

In October, a job-hunting website Zhaopin.com issued a report after surveying people who work fitness coach and make up artist. Most of the jobs pay well, with one in three workers earning more than 8,000 yuan a month. The top-paying job is vet-- about 29 percent of these animal doctors earn over 20,000 yuan per month.

These workers’ educational background is also impressive (令人印象深刻的). Over 60 percent of the surveyed workers have a college degree (學(xué)位) or above, the report says. Most of the workers said they chose their jobs out of love and interest in the area. Many of the jobs are no longer specific to one gender. For example, the report found that one-third of child care workers are men. These positions used to be filled almost only by women.

Many of these jobs are in the service industry. Economic (經(jīng)濟(jì)的) development means people have more money to spend and are in greater need of high-quality services China News Service noted. For example, more people have started to raise pets. Pet owners will spend over 5,000 yuan per pet this year, an increase of 15 percent from 2018, Xinhua reported. The growing demand for animal care, therefore, has encouraged more people to become veterinarians (獸醫(yī)).
