Choosing a career
Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions in our life. There are a lot of different jobs in the world and you should find out more about them. There are a lot of ways to do it. You can got to the library and read different books or you can talk to your parents who do different jobs. Many new jobs appear every year and they give you a lot of new opportunities.
There are several factors that influence the decision of young people to make their choice. They concern material and spiritual aspects of the future profession. It is generally believed that professions should be both prestigious and interesting.
The material aspect indicates the level of the society’s values. Prestigious jobs give you a chance to enter a new social level in the society. Besides your future profession should bring you satisfaction.
Most of the parents want their children to follow their professions, but as for me I don’t think I will. My mother works as a teacher ant you can see advantages and disadvantages of this profession. It is a nervous, badly – paid profession. You have little free time , because you are always busy checking the exercise-books of your pupils. But you can teach your own son or daughter. And, of course to become a teacher you should be patient, kind, intelligent, well-educated, persistent and a little stubborn.
School also helps you to choose your future career, because it enables you to choose necessary subjects and become proficient in them. And you can choose a career suitable to your abilities and interests. While studying you can see in what subjects you are good at and you can choose the sphere in which to apply your knowledge and to connect your future profession. You can also ask your teacher for advice.
As for me I want to connect my future profession with computers. In my opinion the profession of a programmer has a lot of advantages. It is highly paid job and it can give many opportunities. I will be able to work on the full range of development activities such as analysis, design, coding, testing and implementation. Computing is the most rapidly changing sphere of modern technology. The next generation of computers will be able to talk and even to think. We are living in the age of information.
There’s saying. “If you don’t think about your future you don’t have one”. I agree with it even if you don’t know what profession you choose you must feel that it is your vocation in life and you are useful to your country because choosing a career and getting a job are two of the most important things any person does in the future.
