Summary
How little reason and how greatly chance rules over men is shown by the almost invariable disparity between their so-called professions and their evident unsuitability for them: the fortunate cases are exceptions …, and even these are not brought about by reason. A man chooses a profession when he is not yet capable of choice: he does not know the various professions, he does not know himself. (Wir Philologen)
