Answering this question, contestant Dang Bao Tran, a student majoring in human resource management at UEF, confidently said: "Doing what you like to earn money is in line with your passion, and from there, you earn money. Working with a salary high enough to serve your personal interests outside of work. According to the ancient Japanese philosophy that is being applied to career counseling, the most perfect job for us is doing what we like, what we are good at, earning money and serving society. This is the perfect job."

"But in reality, things don't always work out that way. But in my personal opinion, I'll choose to do what I like. The first thing I do when I start out is to set personal goals for my life, then make a lot of money, travel around the world , live like a local, and write a blog. When I have a plan, all my activities will be geared towards this ultimate goal. Moreover, when I don't like what I do, it's also what I gain experience and value from. When I come to the job I love, I'm completely ready, with full knowledge and experience (full knowledge, skills, and experience to be ready for combat, ready to participate in assigned tasks no matter how difficult - NV) to do what I love most," contestant Bao Tran said.
