II. Let’s talk about choosing a career
It goes without
saying that choosing one’s career is not a simple thing and it demands careful
consideration. You should realistically con¬sider your abilities and how to
make use of them. You should ask your¬self how much you know about the reality
of you future job. As a matter of fact, many of us are still on the fantasy
level about future jobs, for there is a great difference between the career
aspiration and the real world of work. We often neglect the fact that every job
has a share bore¬dom about it. That’s why you’d better think about pros and
cons so as not to regret your decision to follow this or that career
afterwards. Actu¬ally it’s not a pleasant thing to stay all your life in a job
you don’t like. And certainly it’s always nice to have a well-paid job and
enjoy it.
Getting a job in
today’s competitive world is not easy. Most jobs re¬quire qualifications. So
it’s better to think about your future job while you are still at school.
Some of my
classmates try to choose their future professions under the influence of their
parents, whose advice they find helpful and valuable. In my opinion, the final
choice should depend on what I am interested in. I want to enjoy my future job.
I think I’ll be motivated by work satisfaction rather than by profit or a good
salary. That’s why I work hard at school, staying late hours, sometimes burning
my candle at both ends.
I can’t say I
have made up my mind what my future career will be. But I'm sure it will be
connected with the English language. I have al¬ways realized the importance of
foreign languages in the modem world. Firstly, it is essential for the
development of international contacts in the sphere of political, social,
business and cultural relations. Secondly, it offers good job opportunities and
it enables you to find work almost anywhere in the world. I'm thinking of
learning several foreign lan¬guages and making a practical use of them in my
future job.
I think I would
be able to become an English teacher as I'm fond of the English language and
British culture. I think I’d like to share my knowledge with pupils. At the
same time I think I wouldn’t be patient enough to explain the same grammar
rules to pupils and correct their mistakes. I don’t like doing the same things
over and over again.
I think I can
find a job which involves a lot of travel, moving around, meeting lots of
interesting people. I believe my future career will be connected with
international tourism or journalism. At the same time I am aware of the
disadvantages such jobs have. People who do these jobs often get fed up with
travelling, living in the hotels and having little time to spend with their
families. They have to work hard and stay late hours. Their jobs are often
stressful and involve risks.
I don’t know
exactly what practical use I will make of foreign lan¬guages in future, but I'm
definitely sure that after graduating from uni¬versity I will become an educated
person, useful for the progress of the society I live in.
