Choosing an Occupation

One of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do about a career. There are individuals, of course, who from the time they are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us can’t make a decision about an occupation or career when they leave school. Choosing an occupation is a difficult problem. There are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or may find out that you will need to get some work experience.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who can counsel you and give detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.

Notes:

1. qualify for – получать специальность, квалификацию
