An interest is a preference for one activity over another.
Interests are one important foundation for choosing a career.
Work will be more satisfying if your child's personal interests are related to the characteristics and demands of a specific career. Parents can have a significant part in the development of their children's interests. To explore their interests fully, young people need to know about and experience many kinds of activities. And it's just as valuable for them to find out what they dislike as what they like. The important thing is to explore.
