Always remember, the safest way to attempt such questions is to always take a partial agreement - partial disagreement stand for the issue. The following points can be structured in an error-free manner to draft a decent BAND 7.0 answer.

Also keep in mind, that your answer should ALWAYS BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR KEY PARAGRAPHS - Introduction, Body Paragraph 01, Body Paragraph 02 and Conclusion. This is the ideal way of dividing your task into relevant sections so that it looks controlled and well drafted.

The below mentioned points can be included for the given question -

Body Paragraph 01 - Points to support SINGLE CAREER

2. Individuals can improvise and polish upon a given set of skills throughout their career which helps them to excel.
3. Some people are afraid to take risks and thus they stick to a single career.

2. To have a better standard of living they opt for multiple careers.
3. To break the monotony and boredom in life, people especially youngsters opt for multiple career pathways.
4. Moreover, people undergo further education in order to enhance their career prospects in the future.
5. Sometimes, people just want to increase their knowledge for their own personal satisfaction.

NOTE - Do not forget, a well-structured writing task 02 should always contain an introduction paragraph which is a balanced combination of a GENERAL TREND, WHAT IS BEING ASKED AND YOUR OPINION. Moreover, it should also have a conclusion / concluding paragraph which will be an overall summary of your stated points/ facts / examples in the Body paragraphs. It is one of the most important part of the Task 02 structure and should never be avoided.   

(These points can be followed as an example of a very good answer. However, please note that this is just one example out of many possible approaches.)
