Implied Main Idea

Question

Please explain to me what is the implied main idea for this question:

     When you are trying to decide on a possible career, think about which classes you enjoy the most in college. You should also consider whether you prefer to work primarily with your mind or if you like a “hands on” job. Think about whether you prefer to work by yourself or with others. Finally, think about whether you prefer to work indoors or outside.

Answer 1

Hi Aida,

Based on the paragraph above, I would suggest that the implied main idea for this question has to do with what you want your future to look like professionally and how to go about preparing for it in college and beyond. Also, the paragraph asks you to think about who you are as a person yourself, what makes you tick, what your strengths and weaknesses, interests and disinterests are on the whole, and how you could go about pursuing a career and life for yourself that help you and others the most.

I hope this helps! Good luck with your writing assignment!
