I am a school leaver and the problem of choosing a profession is the most urgent for me now. Certainly I have thought this question over for a long time. My parents have their own opinion on it. But as the time of leaving school is closer, my worries become stronger and stronger. Like most of my friends and classmates, I am going to enter the university or some other higher educational institution. I expect to get a “Certificate of Maturity” with good and excellent marks. But I realize that a lot of young people will bring their certificates with excellent marks to the selection committee of the university. To pass the entrance exams is a serious test for those who want to continue their education.
As for me I have no aptitude for mastering the technique. But at the same time I don’t know if I’ll manage to get a good job after graduating from the humanitarian department of the university.
My parents want me to enter the department in some way connected with management. But I doubt if I have needed personal qualities for this job. To my mind one who chooses this profession must be very communicative. And of course, if you want to gain something in this field, you have to know economics, finance, accountancy a little, psychology, law, management.
There is one thing which worries me a lot. If I don’t get marks necessary for admission to the university or college, they can suggest that I should pay for my education and our family has no money for this.
There is one more possibility to continue my education. I mean some secondary specialized school. Maybe I’ll choose accountancy. It is very important to every business. A competent accountant is needed everywhere.
If I don’t enter a college or university, I’ll try to do my best to learn how to operate the computer. Certainly I’ll go on studying English at some courses. I am sure without this knowledge it is impossible to get a good job. Many people started at the bottom and worked their way up to the top.
