When a young man starts to think about a future career, he imagines a very glorious picture. But a person gets older he faces real life with its problems. After graduation from the Institute young specialists don’t have many variants. The most common one is to get work as a manager.
As for me, I don’t want to spend all the time in a stuffy office full of computers and printers. I believe that I will never impose unnecessary goods, compose boring reports, and be on phone all day. I understand that modern life could be more difficult without managers, but this kind of work not for me. We have one life and we ought to spend it wisely. I’m sure that in the future I’ll ask myself what I’ve achieved. I believe that any person is born to fulfil some goals, which nobody else, but himself, could define. So as sooner I define my goals as happier I will be.
I’m leaving school at the end of the spring and I always think about an educational institution which I need to choose. I think the ideal option for me will be any Choreographic Academy. I have been dancing all since I was five and I can’t imagine my future life without choreography. Dancing is the best way to express myself, to capture my emotions and thoughts to people. I adore dancing. When I’m engrossed in creation, I don’t think about my school problems and everyone around. I call it “inspiration”. I feel that a real connection between me and the Universe. So I just pick up some ideas and express them through dance using my body and emotions.
If I tell my friends or parents about this plan, perhaps they will say that I am aspiring to be famous. By no means, fame is a heavy burden. There is an important difference between the desire to be a famous artist and the desire not to be forgotten dancer. I don"t think the people of art are exceptional. If an architect creates buildings that will stand for many years, people will be thankful for his great work. If the writer’s novels are read in three hundred years, it will be wonderful. If a dancer’s creation will be remembered next generations, he will live in human hearts.
Any career should make the human who has chosen it satisfied. Otherwise, working routine will be an excruciation and nothing else. I really don’t want to write reports and answer the phone sitting in the office all day. I want my profession to make me happy, and I want to see happy people around me.
Now I have to think about my entrance exams. They are not so easy. I believe that my dream to become a great dancer will come true and I will be able to share the pleasure of dancing with other people.
Когда молодой человек думают о будущей карьере, он представляет очень славную картину. Но как только человек становится старше, он сталкивается с реальной жизнью и её проблемами. После выпуска из Института молодой специалист не имеет много вариантов. Чаще всего он получает работу менеджера.
Что касается меня, я не хочу проводить всё время в душном офисе с большим количеством компьютеров и принтеров. Я верю, что я никогда не буду навязывать ненужные товары, составлять скучные отчёты и говорить по телефону вес день. Я понимаю, что современная жизнь была бы трудной без менеджеров, но этот вид работы не для меня. У нас только одна жизнь и нам стоит тратить её мудро. Я уверен, что в будущем я буду задавать себе вопрос, чего я достиг. Я думаю, что любой человек рождён для выполнения определённых целей, которые никто кроме него не сможет определить. Поэтому чем быстрее я определюсь с целью, тем счастливее я буду.
Я оканчиваю школу в конце весны, и я всё время размышляю об учебном заведении, который мне нужно выбрать. Я думаю, идеальным вариантом для меня будет какая-нибудь Хореографическая Академия. Я танцую с пяти лет, и не могу представить свою жизнь без хореографии. Танец - лучший способ выразить себя, передать мои эмоции и мысли людям. Я обожаю танцы. Когда я погружён в творчество, я не думаю о своих школьных проблемах и людях вокруг. Я называю это «вдохновением». Я чувствую настоящую связь между мной и Вселенной. Я просто подбираю подходящие идеи и выражаю их через танец, используя своё тело и эмоции.
Если я расскажу своим друзьям и родителям о своём плане, возможно, они скажут, что я стремлюсь стать знаменитым. Без сомнения, известность тяжёлое бремя. Существует важное различие между желанием стать знаменитым художником и желанием не стать забытым танцором. Я не думаю, что люди искусства необыкновенные. Если архитектор создаёт здания, которые простоят многие годы, люди будут благодарны ему за работу. Если романы писателя будут читать через три сотни лет, это будет замечательно. Если творчество танцора будут помнить следующими поколениями, он продолжит жизнь в сердцах людей.
Любая карьера должна сделать человека, который её выбрал, удовлетворенным. С другой стороны, работа может стать пыткой и больше ни чем другим. Я действительно не хочу писать отчёты и отвечать на телефонные звонки, просиживая в офисе весь день. Я хочу, чтобы моя профессия сделала меня счастливым, и я хочу видеть счастливых людей вокруг себя.

«What to be» is the most important question young people ask themselves. Your destiny and family relationship depend on it. Many aspects of life should be taken into consideration while answering the question «what to be». Different circumstances can influence our choice, we may follow someone’s experience or advice or be encouraged by certain people and events.
At early years of mankind development there were just a few jobs such as farmers, bakers, butchers or carpenters. In 17-th century I Russia it was about 200 professions. Now days exists 40000 varieties of jobs, but new kinds of work appears all the time. There is no doubt that it’s difficult to chose correct. We have so many professions to choose of. Challenging, rewarding, exciting, prestigious, professions seem to be attractive. If a job is monotonous, exhausting, messy you will say it doesn’t appeal to you. We divide jobs into caring, creative, outdoor, office professions and forces.
We refer nursing, teaching to caring professions. Creative professions include the job of a journalist, designer. To work in the office means to be a bank worker, a secretary, a receptionist. If you work in agriculture, horticulture, conservation you are a representative of the outdoor profession. Those who work in the police, army or navy choose forces. Besides these professions you may make a career in law, finance, international business relations, tourism business, banking and others.
Making the right choice can be rather frustrating. You should know your strengths and weaknesses. You must keep in mind what different jobs can require. Some jobs need accuracy, good imagination, physical strength. Others will require experience, special training, travelling a lot, working long hours from home, working late or even working night shifts.
I wish we had a special subject in career teaching at school. If only there were visits to places of employment and higher education. At the lessons of career teaching we could investigate our good and bad points, our interests and aptitudes, we could relate our knowledge and values to our ambitions and requirements of different occupations. Such lessons would clarify relationship between education and employment.
It is important to realize that if you are practical and organized, like routine that doesn’t vary, have a tidy mind then you are suited for an office profession. Creative nature, imaginative mind, sociability and ability to communicate will enable you to be a designer, a tourist agent, an interpreter or a market researcher. Artistic and loving nature, imagination, sensitivity make the occupation of a painter, actor, dancer, florist, architect, beautician suitable for you. Working as a teacher Teacher’s demands love for children, perfect experience in subject, and the power of explanation. In matters of future career the priority should be given to education. If you are conscientious, efficient, capable of doing accurate work, responsible — your prospects of getting a good job increase.
Since I was a child I wished to be a programmer. I was interested in working with numbers, bites, structures and finding answers for complex problems. I love Mathematics and I am very good at it. As for my personality, I may say that I am constructive and persistent, I have strong logic, easily solve problems and I prefer teamwork rather than independence. To find a job I like I need to have excellent science knowledge’s so I could pass examinations to institute.
And there is another thing to keep in mind, it’s creation of correct impression on people, especially, when you apply for a good position. Your possible in the future employer will search for your Curriculum Vitae. It’s info about your previous experiences, education and personal qualities. Then he will decide whether to invite you or not for an interview. The way you look, your confidence, correct speech and behavior and knowledge of subject will make good impression on the interviewer.
Choosing a future profession is one of the most important decisions in a person’s life. If you spend eight hours a day five times a week at the place you hate, your whole life can be spoilt only because of your job.
So, it is a question of satisfaction with the career. Besides, a future income depends on the type of work a person will do. It should be enough to correspond to his needs and ambitions.
How to Make a Right Choice?
Those people who manage to choose a prosperous and satisfying career are lucky. But, most young people are not quick in making a right decision because they do not have enough life experience.
First, estimate your own abilities and talents. Most likely, your favourite subjects at school or your hobbies will build up a strong basis for your future professional field.
Secondly, it is good to ask for advice from working professionals and visiting them at work. Try to visit different places, compare what you see, analyse if it your cup of tea or not. Moreover, parents and teachers are always ready to help, ask them.
Finally, look inside yourself. See how ambitious you are, what kind of character and temper you have, what your tempo of life is. Your future job should be corresponding to your nature.
Popular Professions among the Modern School-leavers
Professional preferences of school-leavers change from generation to generation. Scientific progress, fashion and economic situation in the country play a great role in choosing definite professions.
Modern teenagers want to be engineers, policemen, doctors, lawyers. Among the least popular are scientists, teachers, and artists.
Важный выбор
Выбор будущей профессии – одно из важнейших решений в жизни человека. Если пять раз в неделю по восемь часов вы проводите в ненавистном месте, вся ваша жизнь может быть испорчена только из-за работы.
Поэтому карьера – это вопрос удовлетворения. Кроме того, от специфики выполняемой работы зависит будущий доход. Он должен быть достаточным, чтобы соответствовать нуждам человека и его желаниям.
Как сделать правильный выбор?
Счастливы те люди, которым удается выбрать правильный путь. Но большинство молодых людей не могут быстро принять правильное решение, потому что им не хватает жизненного опыта.
Во-вторых, хорошо спросить совета профессионалов и побывать у них на работе. Постарайтесь сходить в разные места, сравнивайте то, что вы видите, анализируйте, подходит это вам или нет. Более того, родители и учителя всегда готовы помочь, спрашивайте их.
Популярные профессии среди современных выпускников
Профессиональные предпочтения выпускников меняются от поколения к поколению. Научно-технический прогресс, мода и экономическая ситуация в стране играют огромную роль в выборе профессии.
Современные подростки хотят быть инженерами, полицейскими, врачами, юристами. Среди менее популярных профессий – ученые, преподаватели, художники.
