Choosing a career and getting a job are two of the most important things in a person’s life. There are several factors that influence the decision young people make: inclinations and interests, social environment, their parents’ profession, material aspects.
I made my choice at school when my favourite subjects were biology and chemistry. Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. Biology is a vast subject containing many subdivisions, topics, and disciplines.
Now I’m a student of Gomel State University, biological faculty. The Faculty of Biology is a center of learning and research, training specialists in various fields of biology. Our curriculum includes fundamental science courses and biological disciplines in various fields of biology. The basic biological disciplines include: zoology, botany, microbiology, evolution theory, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, human, animal and plant physiology, human anatomy, cytology. In the first and second year our students have their summer fieldwork courses at the biological stations, where they study the variety of the natural world and acquire their experience in research work.
A wide variety of specific fields in anthropology, zoology, botany, physiology, genetics, biochemistry, biophysics and microbiology are offered for students to choose their major area from in the third year and to work on through the fourth and the fifth year.
After graduating from the university students can work as teachers, laboratory assistants, scientists.

Choosing a career is not an easy task. After school you have to decide on your future profession. And this decision is one of the most important in a person’s life. I made up my mind to become a forestry engineer at school and I have never regretted since then.
I’m a student of Gomel State University, biological faculty. And I am studying forestry. My future profession is both useful and responsible. Forests are complex ecosystems, comprised of thousands of organisms, both plants and animals, but also insects, fungi, algae, and bacteria. The way we manage our natural resources is based upon our understanding of how these organisms live and interact with each other. It is also based on our understanding of the non-living components of the forest environment, such as geology, soil, water, fire, and climatology.
Foresters work for the timber industry, government agencies, local authorities, urban parks and private landowners. The duties of forest engineers include control of growing seedlings for woodland creation or regeneration projects, preventing and combating insect infestation, disease, forest and grassland fires. They are specialists in measuring and modeling the growth of forests. Forest engineers may be involved in wildlife conservation. Forestry also includes the development of better methods for the planting, protecting, thinning, controlled burning, extracting, and processing of timber.

To cut a long story short a professional forest manager should have a vast knowledge of every form of life in a forest from mushrooms to wild animals. A good forest engineers should not only manage but be able to do all the necessary work by themselves.
So as you may see my future career is far from being easy, but there is no doubt that it’s very important and interesting.
