The Reasons Why Intelligence should not Determine People's Job

Have you ever heard about multiple intelligence? Multiple intelligence is a theorywhich was presented by Howard Gardner, a Harvard Education Professor. In the multiple

intelligence, someone could have many intelligences but just one is the most dominant. With

that theory, someone could know what intelligence she/he has. However, with that theory too,

many people are getting confused to choosethe right field of work/job for them. They have tochoose the job because of the most dominant intelligence that they have or because they are

able and enjoy doing that job, although the job is not based on their most dominant multiple

intelligence. In my opinion, if I have to choose, I will choose the job which I am able and

enjoy doing it. In other words, I believe that the most dominant intelligence should not

determine one's field of work because of personal reasons, social reasons, and financial

reasons.

The first reason why the most dominant intelligence should not determine one's field

of work are personal reasons. The first aspect of those reasons is the dissimilarity between

intelligence and interest. For having a job, someone has to have an interest in his/her job.

When someone has had that interest, he/she can work well. It means that someone who works

because he/she has interest in that job can be more effective and can gain more productivity.

For example, take a look at Bill Gates. He can become a successful person, even the most

rich person in the world because he has developed his interest, in computer, becomes his

business.

The second aspect in the personal arguments why the most dominant intelligence

should not determine one's field of work is lack of education. Another important aspect to get

a job which must be noticed besides the most dominant intelligence is having the right

education. Nowadays, almost all of the companies want the applicants to have the right title if

they have a desire to apply for a job. Someone can't be a doctor, for example, even though

she/he has the most dominant intelligence in that subject because he/she doesn't have the

medical education. So, sometimes, the education and the most dominant intelligence can be

unsuitable.

The third aspect and the final aspect in the personal arguments why the most

dominant intelligence should not determine one's field of work is lack of other requirements.

proves that the company cares about their workers. Because of that fact, someone who wants

to get a job should pay attention to the allowance which is given.

In brief, having a job which is suitable with the most dominant intelligence will be

very good, but with the globalization era, many aspects should be considered, one of them is

personal reasons. Choosing a job should be discussed with the family and the work finders

should take a look for the best job opportunities, or these can be called social reasons. The

other reasons which are also important to the applicant are financial reasons.
