Explanation
People work to earn money and to help others. There are many jobs, so we put them in groups. Farming jobs are about growing plants and looking after animals. Factory jobs are about making things, like bread, clothes and chairs. Shop jobs are about selling things and counting money. Tourism jobs are about welcoming visitors, like hotel workers and guides. Science and engineering jobs are about solving problems and designing things, like bridges and computers. There are other jobs too, like teacher, doctor and firefighter. Any person can do any job.
