My
future career

What
do you want to be when you grow up? We have heard this question many times
during our school years. Perhaps, it was difficult for us to give a definite
answer earlier. But now we understand that the time to choose our future profession
has come. Finishing school is the beginning of an independent life for millions
of school-leavers. Many roads are open before us: technical schools, colleges
and universities. Centuries ago there were only a few jobs: people were
farmers, bakers, butchers or carpenters. Today there are thousands of different
kinds of jobs, and new ones are constantly appearing. No wonder that it is not
an easy thing to make the right choice.

When choosing a future career, we should consider different
factors. In my opinion, money is one of the most important factors when you
make a choice. There are highly paid jobs and low-paid jobs. For example, a
businessman, a president or a film star, are highly paid jobs. A worker, a
doctor or an engineer, are low-paid jobs. I think everybody wants to earn as
much money as possible. Training, promotional prospects and conditions should
be also taken into account.

On the other hand, it’s good when you get satisfaction from your
job. It is very important to choose a profession that suits your interests. In
my opinion, a job should be interesting and socially important. Some jobs are
considered to be more suitable for men and others for women. For example, the
professions of secretary or nurse are more suitable for women. A lifeguard or a
pilot are more likely the jobs for men. You should also decide whether you want
to work indoors or outdoors.

To make the right choice, you should take into account your traits
of character. It goes without saying that to become a good doctor you must be
patient, caring and kind. Teacher’s work requires love for children, profound
knowledge of subjects, and the ability to explain. A secretary has to be
efficient and careful in order to do her work quickly and accurately.
Salespeople need to be friendly and persuasive, to get people buy their
products.

There are so many people who influence us in choosing our
occupation. Parents and friends play a very important role in our choices.

My father works for an international company as a managing
director. It is a highly paid job and it offers a lot of opportunities. You can
travel abroad and meet different people. My father is a friendly person and he
is easy to talk to. He thinks that I must choose my future profession according
to my taste and preferences. I respect him and I want to become a businessman,
too.

I have always been interested in economics and I am good at Maths.
I have an aptitude for working with people, and I think I’m rather
communicative and have good social skills. I have good analytical abilities and
I am good at problem-solving. Besides, I am good at English. English has become
the standard language for all kinds of international business communications.
To know English today is absolutely necessary for every businessman.  To
become a successful businessman you should know a lot. So after finishing
school I want to enter the university and to study marketing or management.
Management deals mainly with people. A manager is a person who directly
supervises people in an organization. Managers spend a great deal of time
communicating, coordinating and making decisions affecting the daily operations
of their organization. Almost everything, a manager does, involves decisions,
and in decision-making there is always uncertainty and risk. So managing is a
very interesting, but difficult, job.

Marketing deals with market research and commercial activity in
general. It involves analyzing business situations, evaluating market
opportunities, developing market strategies and controlling their implementation.
It is important for a specialist in marketing to be flexible and prepared to
make adjustments where necessary, as it is unlikely that any marketing plan
will succeed exactly as planned.

I haven’t decided yet what to study. But I still
have time to think and to choose.
