题目大意
早日选定并恪守职业目标比频繁改行的人更容易对事业感到满足。同意反对?

思路解析
这是一道观点类大作文。一般同意反对类的题目,题目所给出的结论多数情况下要么是缺乏具体的前提,或是前提的合理性不足,所以一般选择反对的立场,缺乏前提或因果缺乏必然性就是反对的首要理由。
这道题目的结论是单一事业比频繁改行更能获得事业满足,但并没有给出任何前提。这就没有仔细考虑具体前提而随便下定义,这种思维方式就是反对的一个理由。
在文章结构上,主体段-1可以站在出题者的角度,分析对方为何会这样想;然后在主体段-2针对这一分析中的逻辑漏洞予以反驳,并继而给出我认为正确的逻辑——即工作快乐与否,要根据不同情况而决定。
我们一起来看下,工作满足感可能来自于哪些因素。
月半鸭认为主要有四方面,工资收入、工作成就感、未来发展和稳定性。对于不同的人,追求的点其实会不同,所做的选择也会不同。
比如,对于追求物质满足的人,会更看重工资报酬。他们为了让自己或家人过上更好的生活,需要足够的收入来维护。对于追求精神满足的人,他们可能会更看重完成工作时产生的成就感,这会让他们更加愉悦。
因此,不同的人、面对不同的工作所做出的选择是不同的。坚持一份工作并感到满足的人可能是因为热爱从事的工作、看好从事工作(行业)的前景或是享受稳定的工作和生活。而频繁换工作的人也可能是因为寻求工作上的新鲜感、希望找到更好的机会。

范文示例
It is argued that, compared with frequent job hoppers, those who establish a career goal earlier and stick to the target onwards are more likely to be contended with their work. From my perspective, I tend to see this assertion as an incomplete part of the entire picture, while the job satisfaction is not an either-or issue that we can jump to a conclusion recklessly without scrutinizing all possible contributing factors.
Indeed, it seems to make sense why many people tend to venerate the persistent career mode over multiple working paths. In the eyes of those jumping on the bandwagon, the most frequently celebrated cases of successful business icons all seem to prove the logic, whether these be Bill Gates from Microsoft, Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook or Jack Ma from Alibaba – none of whom is not the manifestation of years or even decades of adherence to the goals established in the beginning of their careers.
Plausible though the logic seems, I would say that it is simple-minded to prioritize one working mode over others: the protagonists lauding for staying on single working path are oblivious to the fact that the so-called ‘satisfaction in work’ is not an objective notion than can be calibrated by any specific standards. Rather, I would see the work gratification as a subjective perception that is inevitably correlated with various determinants; for example, extrinsic motivating factors, or personal attitudes towards what is happiness of work. Oftentimes, the ongoing business trends require working adults to change their career paths to a new direction that might be more aligned with their prospects. At an individual level, there do exist some people who obtain sense of achievement by embracing new challenges and opportunities in new domains.
With regards to this, I am convinced that a satisfied working life is a complicated concept that does not necessarily hinges on single career path, but in many cases can also come from a more colorful career spectrum.
