Конспект 12. Career choice

  If you want to choose a career, the best way out is to work out a plan. Too many people start looking for a specific job before thinking out their occupational aims. It is a good idea to begin by attempting to define in clear terms what your requirements are for a career. This involves taking a realistic view of your strengths and weaknesses. You may think, for example, that you would like a job which involves organizing people, so, first of all, think whether it's your strong point.
  On the other hand, you should remember that training will equip you to do new things. A further point to consider is how far you will be willing to go for things which you do not like knowing that they are necessary to achieve your longer term objectives. Having thought carefully about the sort of person you are, try to work out a realistic set of occupational requirements.
  In particular, you can answer some important questions. First: what sort of life do you want to lead? For example, do you want to live in the country or in a town? Is leisure time of great importance to you? Is the size of your salary important? Do you want to put down roots or travel widely? Second: what sort of work do you want to do? For example, do you like working alone or with others? Does teaching people appeal to you? Do you want to be an organizer of other people's activities? Do you want to develop new ideas and initiate changes?
  As for me, I have made up my mind to be an engineer. As my parents are engineers they have made a great influence on my choice and I can say that this profession runs the family. My choice of this occupation didn't come as a sudden flash. I think that nowadays this profession is of great need and importance in our country. It is my aim to be a qualified specialist and to serve the interests of my country. To be a well prepared engineer I should have some important qualities such as great capability persistence, knowledge of science and, of course, knowledge of foreign languages. In spite of these arguments we mustn’t forget about everybody's vacation. I think that my facilities combined with the knowledge would be quite enough to succeed in my work.
