My Future Profession
There are many interesting and useful professions and it is really not an easy task to choose the right one. I opted for a job in a world of management, and now I am a second-year student of the faculty of economics.
A manager is one of the most prestigious and widely required professions today. Having been educated in this sphere you may be employed in industry or in business. If you work as a manager, you are in charge of making decisions and of managing your subordinates within the organization.
As many other jobs, the profession of a manager has its advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, it is prestigious, interesting and well-paid. Working as a manager you deal with people, spend much time communicating with them. On the other hand, managing is a demanding, responsible, and sometimes hard job. There is a lot to be done and relatively little time to do it.
This job requires not only deep knowledge of economic matters, but also a number of different skills. To be a good manager you should have strong analytical skills and the ability to think in the abstract. It is often vital for a manager to be good at communication with people. It is also very important for a specialist in management to be a skilful user of computers and to speak at least one foreign language.
I hope that I’ll never regret my choice and get a well-paid and interesting job after graduating from the academy.
