In the field of biology: the study of the human anatomy is straight forward. How about the field of career identification? Easy/Difficult?

The examination of human anatomy is quite clear and straightforward. A typical individual will undoubtedly possess two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, with the heart located in a specific position.

What about career identification?

In a particular profession, such as law, one attorney within a firm may not execute the exact same core job functions as another.

Therefore, when assessing the career of an individual, one may discover that the career elements of lawyer A differ from those of lawyers B, C, and even D.

The crucial point here is to gather information directly from the source.

This could explain why one expert concludes that lawyer A's career is categorized as Earth; thus, they assume that all lawyers' careers fall under the Earth element.

Conversely, if another expert interviews lawyer C and subsequently classifies that career as Fire, this expert may assert that all lawyers should be regarded as belonging to the Fire element.

One day, a naive researcher found themselves confused about who was correct or incorrect: one expert claiming that the law career is Earth while another insists it is Fire?

As I have stated, it is always advisable to 'interview' the individual in question regarding their career. After conducting the interview, a third expert may conclude that this particular person's element is Wood. Can we assert that this expert is incorrect? They are merely referring to this specific individual. If they publish their belief that the law profession is associated with Wood, would you criticize them and declare them entirely wrong? Were you present to interview the individual?

Alternatively, if you concur with this expert, perhaps due to their esteemed reputation, would you then claim that the previous two experts were completely mistaken? Since no two careers are identical, this may elucidate the multitude of interpretations regarding the elements: Earth, Fire, Wood, or others, even within a single profession such as law!

In the realm of career identification, one might even observe that the hand is where the head is; the head is connected to the right arm, and so forth...
