Choosing a Career
Finishing school means the independent life for millions of school-leavers. Many roads are open before them: technical schools, colleges and universities. But it is not an easy thing to choose a profession out of thousands! Some pupils follow their parents' advice; others can not make any decision after leaving school.
In childhood I wanted to be a spaceman; then I dreamed of becoming a policeman. Only a few years ago I started thinking about my future career seriously. Life is quite difficult, but I want to have an interesting job and would like it to be connected with different countries and people. That is why I decided to become an interpreter. I am good at foreign languages. My favourite language is English. I like watching films and reading books in the original.
I think the questions- young people should ask themselves are: What am I interested in? and What do I want to be? When they find the answers, they will have the goal to achieve. If you are good at a particular subject and you want your profession to be connected with it, it is important that you study it seriously.
My father wants me to follow in his footsteps and become a physicist. But I am not interested in medicine and I am not good at Chemistry or Biology. As they say, medicine is "not my cup of tea".
Another problem is entering a university. Russian National Exam which school-leavers have to pass at the end of the 11th form is rather difficult, so you have to study really hard to get a necessary number of exam points to enter a university. Moreover, different universities have different number of "acceptance points". I have some friends who did not get enough points to enter the universities they wanted, so they had to choose other places to study or pay for their education.
However, some young people do not know which career to choose even after they "finish school, so they have to waste time deciding, or start working. For young men the situation is difficult because they may be taken to the Army that is why a lot of them enter any institute or university just not to become soldiers.
Sometimes young people choose a career to their liking, they enter a university and after some time they realise that the occupation they chose is not what they really want, so they get poor marks and have to leave the university.
The problem of choosing a career is very widespread among young people and they should think about their future seriously before making any decisions.
