There are so many trades and professions on the Earth. That’s very difficult to choose one for all your life. That’s why when a young man is asked: “What do you want to be?” it is so difficult for him to answer the question. Of course, there are always some boys and girls who know very well what they are going to do after school.
There are 3 roads open to us after finishing school. Some of us can start work. Others can go to a vocational school or technical secondary school and to gåt the trade of a machine-operator, a hair-dresser, a medical nurse, a technologist and so on. But many of us think of higher education and will try to enter this or that institute or university.
I always wanted to be a lawyer. But as the years passed, I changed my mind and now I want to be an economist.
We all know that the economic situation in our country is rather complicated now. The country needs good specialists for its national economy, and the profession of an economist is one of them.
My mother and my elder sister are economists, and I see how interesting their work is. I often listen to their talks; I sometimes go to my mother’s work and even help her.
The best way to get a good education is to work hard at school, to learn all I can outside the school.
I try to do my best at school. Besides, I attend optional courses in English, Maths and Computing. I read special programms on TV. I try to find out all I can about my future profession.
If I don’t manage to enter the institute right after school, I’ll try to find some work connected with the job that interests me. I’ll try again and again to enter the institute and to get a profession of an economist.
