What do you need to become a true professional?
As you know, our modern world makes a person be flexible and mobile, creative and inventive. Modern life makes a person broaden his horizons, use modern technologies and learn foreign languages. To get knowledge people need education, they need to turn theory into practice. Nowadays good education means a good job. I am leaving school soon and I’m thinking about possible careers and jobs. It’s very difficult to choose your future career because there are many alternatives and you don’t know where to start. It’s a very difficult decision to choose the right job. Of course, I want a profitable job, but I also want to enjoy the profession in which I’ll be engaged. I want a creative job, no matter what the profession will be. Maybe I’ll become a specialist in business matters like my mother.
I made my choice last year. I want to enter The Belarusian State University. I am going to be a lawyer. Lawyers don’t only punish people for different crimes but try to prevent them. They help people to find the right road in life. The lawyers protect the rights and interests of citizens and organizations.

I have decided to become an economist for many reasons. Firstly because of the economic situation in our country good experts are always required at all enterprises. Secondly, at school I liked lessons of mathematics and the English language most of all, what, in my opinion, it is necessary for my future speciality. I hope I’ll be able to get profound knowledge and practical skills when I become a university student. My true desire is to contribute to the process of bringing Belarus to market economy and turning it into a country with a high living standard.
I want to become a computer programmer. I am interested in computers. It is a whole new world. My favourite subjects in school are mathematics, physics, and, of course, computer science. My hobby is computer games and computer programming. I have a computer at home and can spend hours working at it. It is much easier to do things on computer, for example to write a composition. You can change the text as many times as you want and you don't need to rewrite everything if you changed something.
I think that the profession of programmer can give many opportunities. Computers are the most rapidly changing sphere of modern technology. We are living in the age of information. And I think that the future is just filled with computers. So after I finish school I want to enter the university and study computer science.

I want to be an engineer. They say that it’s a difficult profession and it requires good knowledge of physics and mathematics. I’m ready to give it a try. My teachers also say that I’m rather good at this field. I have analytical skills, logical thinking and I’m attentive to details. The school subjects that I’m good at are algebra and geometry. My father says that engineers need excellent technical knowledge, so he helps me with that. Moreover, strong computer skills are required, as most of the equipment today is computerized. If I become a mechanical engineer, I will definitely have to deal with machinery and software programs for problem solving. If I manage to enter the Technological University, I will have to study for 5 years to become a professional engineer. In my opinion, engineering is a great profession. It gives lots of opportunities for development and self-growth. There are so many interesting fields that I can choose from, such as civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering etc.
