This graph shows responses to a survey question in the United States in 2011 asking young people whether they felt the job they currently held was within their chosen field or if they were waiting for something better to come along. The responses are divided among races. 61 percent of all respondents stated that the job they currently held was within their chosen field.
When you think about the job you have right now, do you believe it is within your chosen field and you want to stay within this profession, or is it more of a job until something better comes along?
