“Depend on yourself” is what nature says. Every parent can help you. Teachers can help you. Others can help you. But all these only help you to help yourselves.
They have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very food. They couldn’t depend upon them for an education. They say how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something. They work their own way till they became well-known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I can’t make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourselves.”
Some young men don’t try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. They can never gain achievement unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.

When American students graduate from college, they must find jobs themselves. But often they get help from their college or university. Every college has a career counseling office. The people who work there help students learn about different kinds of jobs and the chances for employment. Students can discuss their situation with a career counselor as early as in their first year of college. Some use the information a counselor gives them when deciding what subjects for study.
For example, a girl student wants to be an engineer, but she does not know what kind. The counselor can tell the girl that, when she graduates in four years, there will be more jobs for structural engineers than for chemical engineers. Therefore, the student may study structural engineering.
The career counseling office also communicates with local and national companies. Company officials often visit the university to talk to students who want to work for them. The counseling offices arrange these meetings for the company and the students, they also have classes for students. They teach the students how to find a job, such as what to say to a company official and how to write letters telling about themselves.
Experts say that American students who are hired when they finish college usually find jobs in their own field of study. Those who must search for months after graduation usually take lower-pay jobs, and their jobs are not connected to what they studied in college.
