Choosing a career (на английском языке)

Ponomarev Andrey, 10 A.

Choosing a career.

When you leave school you understand that the time to choose your

future profession has come. It's not an easy task to make the right choice

of a job. I have known for a long time that leaving school is the beginning

of my independent life, the beginning of a far more serious examination of

my abilities and character.

I have asked myself a lot of times: "What do I want to be when I leave

school?" A few years ago it was difficult for me to give a definite answer.

As the years passed I changed my mind a lot of times about which science or

field of industry to specialize in. It was difficult to make up my mind and

choose one of the hundreds jobs to which I might be better suited.

There are many worthy professions, but not of them are in demand now. I

think, now in Russia in demand are professions connected with economics,

computers, advertising business and tourism.

A couple of years ago I wanted to become a biologist. I thought it was

a very interesting profession. I was good at biology in school. But in the

9th form I have changed my mind: I already have wanted to be an economist.

I think I have an aptitude for working with figures and solving

mathematical problems. And now I'm going to be an economist. I know that

the life of a person of this profession sometimes is very difficult. The

success of this job depends on enterprise, knowledge and skills of a

person. That's why after school I would like to enter to the State

University-High Economics School. My parents are involved in this problem.

My father is working with immovable property for about 10 years, my mother

is working in a music school. I think my future profession is suitable for

me, because I'm energetic, communicative and quick by nature. These

personal characteristics will help me to succeed in my career, but I would

like to develop some qualities of my character, such as diligence, patience

and organizing. When you choosing a future career it's a good idea to take

different factors into account. I think, my future career will satisfy me,

will be well-paid.

Now I haven't enough knowledge to enter the university I've chosen,

because the competition is very high. That's why now I'm attending special

courses and paying special attention to Maths and English. I'm going to

take exams by Mathematics, Literature, English and Economics. I chosen this

university because it's very noble and connected with my future career.
