In my opinion..

In the journal,writer want to test the relationship between parents' career interests and the career interests in young adults.The test was a success but its need more improvements.First of all,the tester only choose the student that study and live in the Hong Kong city where are mostly parents are businessman and businesswoman.So as a businessman it is their job to convince others to buy their products which also can be used to their children to pick their profession as a career.But what about the people lives in villages where most of men were farmers and women were housewifes?Do they encourage their offspring to do farmers work?I quess not.
The writer should develops their study in a bigger field to know the true answers. Apart from that,the writer also used the Holland's classification of careers and the Five-Factors traits in their study and found that openness related with artistic.There are somes,but there are also some peoples who love to do art but cannot accept their work to be critics,so I quess the application of this theory cannot be applied in this research.
Furthermore the writer also said that gender influences from a father to sons and mother to daughters to pick a careers is not rational.In my own opinian,in today's world,almost 98% of the female can do the male works and vice versa.The saying that a female cannot be a truck driver because it hard and need full attention to the driving but according to the research maded by the American scientist shows that girls are more alert than the boys.The research said that girls have the binoculars vision which see all thing while boys only have monoculars vision.
The writer also used a cross-sectional design and there was no direct evidence about the causal direction between parents and student participant. In addition,the writer did not measure parents' activities to examine their potential effects on children's career interests.The last is the participant was rewarded with some cash which is I conclude as money chasers.The participant maybe joins the research only for the money given.
The conclusion is the writer only wants to know the relationship between the adult and children interest of career.However,the critiction that I gave is to make sure that there is no pressure to the children that have to follow the results of the research.Be what you want to be and live life.
