CHOOSING A
CAREER
Choosing a career is not an easy matter. I am leaving school in
two years and I haven"t yet decided which profession to choose.
There are a lot of interesting things in the world, so it is
difficult to make the right choice.
In childhood I wanted to be a pilot, then I wanted to become a
fireman. But now I have to think about my future career
seriously. Some people are good at Maths, Physics and Biology,
others enjoy History, Literature and Geography.
In my opinion I am good at foreign languages. My favourite
language is English. I like it very much and I want to be either
a teacher of English or an interpreter. I like watching films in
English, reading books in the original and listening to music in
English.
I think that young people should ask themselves: What am I
interested in ? What do I want to become ? When they find the
answer, they will have the goal to achieve. And then they should
do everything to achieve this goal. If you are good at Maths and
you want your profession to be connected with this subject, you
should start studying it very seriously. The same is with other
subjects.
My father wants me to follow in his footsteps and become a
businessman. But I am not interested in business or economics. I
have always been bad at these subjects and I want my profession
to be connected with English.
My mother says that I should choose my future occupation myself.
But I am still not sure what to choose. Of course there are a
lot of special books about different professions. In addition, a
lot of universities and institutes have open house days, so I
can go there and choose a good place for my future studies.
However, it is very difficult to enter a university. If you do
not have money and if you are not a genius, you will never enter
a good university or an institute. I have some friends who were
in this situation and they had to choose a career not to their
interests and liking.
But some young people still do not know which career to choose
even after they finish school, so they have to waste time
deciding, or go to find a job. For men it is harder because they
may be taken to the Army, that"s why a lot of them enter any
institute or university just not to become soldiers.
Sometimes young people choose a career they are interested in,
they enter a university and after some time they understand that
this occupation is not for them, 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 it seriously before making
any decisions.

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.

Посвящен выбору профессии, но будет полезен тем, кто уже определился с родом своей деятельности. Дело в том, что знать, как переводятся языке нужно всем без исключения: заполняя любую анкету в международных организациях, занимаясь поиском работы за рубежом или составляя собственное , мы непременно используем профессии. Поэтому предлагаем внимательно прочитать и перевести текст, в котором встречаются названия некоторых видов профессиональной деятельности.
Choosing a career
Sooner or later each of us needs to choose a career. The biggest mistake in this activity is to make a decision without planning your future and thinking about your personality. Your career must feet you. In other case you would never gain success in profession that was chosen.
To do it right way you need to think about your wants and needs. Also you must take into account your character and temperament. No one can know your good and bad habits as well as you do.
It works quite simple. If you don’t like to talk with unknown people then don’t choose career that needs it like sociologist, insurance agent, and reporter. If you don’t like working with children then don’t try to be teacher or kindergartener. If you are absent-minded it would be better if you do not work on atomic power plant.
To realize what will fit you best of all you need to answer some questions. And answers must be honest. At first you need to decide what you expect from life. If you want to have a big house, car and great deposit account then low-paid jobs is not what you are looking for. From the other side there are people who like their life without luxuries and expensive purchases. You also need to think about other characteristics of your life. For example, would you like to stay in your town for life long or to move across the country? At second you need to think about properties of your future career. That is what we were talking above. Your job must conform your personality.
As for me, I have decided to become a financial analyst. My personal capabilities and my education showed me that I was on the right way. Now I work in a bank as a chef of financial department. No doubt, I made right decision about my career.
Выбор профессии
Раньше или позже, но каждому из нас приходится выбирать профессию. Самая большая ошибка при этом – принимать решение без планирования своего будущего и мыслей о личности. Ваша деятельность должна подходить вам. В противном случае вы никогда сможете достичь успеха в выбранной профессии.
Чтобы сделать это (выбор) правильно, нужно подумать о своих желаниях и потребностях. Также нужно принять в расчет ваш характер и темперамент. Никто не знает ваши плохие и хорошие привычки лучше, чем вы сами.
Это работает довольно просто. Если вы не любите говорить с незнакомыми людьми – не выбирайте профессии вроде социолога, страхового агента или репортера. Если вам не нравится работать с детьми – не пытайтесь стать учителем или воспитателем в детском саду. Если вы рассеянный, будет лучше, если вы не будете работать на атомной электростанции.
Для того чтобы понять, что подойдет вам лучше всего, нужно ответить на несколько вопросов. И ответы должны быть честными. Во-первых, вам нужно решить, что вы ждете от жизни. Если вы хотите иметь большой дом, машину и огромный депозит на счету, тогда низкооплачиваемая работа не то, что вы ищите. С другой стороны, есть люди, которые любят их жизнь без излишеств и дорогих покупок. Вам нужно также подумать о других характеристиках вашей жизни. Например, хотели бы вы оставаться в родном городе на всю жизнь или перемещаться по стране. Во-вторых, вам нужно подумать о характеристиках будущей карьеры. Это то, о чем мы говорили выше. Работа должна подходить личности.
Что касается меня, то я решил стать финансовым аналитиком. Мои личные способности и мое образование показали мне, что я на правильном пути. Сейчас я работаю в банке руководителем финансового департамента. Вне всяких сомнений, я сделал правильное решение относительно своей карьеры.
