Letter : Your friend telling him what profession you would like to adopt in life

Telling what profession to adopt in life

My Dear,

Please accept my thanks for your kind letter. I am glad to learn that you have passed your M.A. Examination in English in the first division. Your brilliant success has, I think, already decided about your future. You would, I believe, make a very successful lecturer.

You have asked me about what profession I would like to adopt in life. To speak frankly, it is very difficult for an average student to decide what exactly he wants to do in life, because so much depends on success in annual examinations alone.

So far as I am concerned, and if my past academic record is any guide. I may go in for training in librarianship. You know a librarian has got to be a very responsible, learned, and hard working man. And I have, I think, all these qualities. You know my record in school is top-most. I have a great aptitude for keeping in safe custody books of great value, and I know how to deal with students in schools and colleges when they borrow and return books.

Besides this there is a great scope in this line, and given proper encouragement and training, I may be able to attain perfection. There are other equally honourable professions, but I am either not interested in them.

I do not know what you would think of me after reading this letter. But I shall be glad to get your true and honest opinion about my choice of the profession.

Yours sincerely,
XYZ
