“What job do you want?” asks the teacher.
“Maybe my job does not exist yet,” says Mei. New technology can change career paths, but people will still need many human skills.
Mei likes to solve problems, create, and learn. She also practices teamwork. “I want to be flexible when the world changes.”
We cannot see every future job. We can imagine possibilities and build useful skills now. One choice at age thirteen does not decide a whole life.

“你将来想做什么工作？”老师问。
“也许我未来的工作现在还不存在呢。”Mei 说。新技术会改变职业道路，但沟通、合作等人的能力仍然重要。
Mei 喜欢解决问题、创造新东西，也喜欢学习。她还练习团队合作。“世界变化时，我想能灵活应对。”
我们看不到未来的每一份工作，却可以想象各种可能，从现在开始培养有用的能力。十三岁时的一个选择，不会决定整个人生。
