Professions
It's very important to study well and to get a good education. We must decide what to do after finishing the school. We must choose what occupation to have, where to go to study.
An occupation is an activity of any kind for which a person has the necessary qualifications and training.
Many roads are open for us. After the ninth form we may go to a vocational school, a technical secondary school or to the 10th form. After finishing the school we may go also to a vocational school, to go to work.

There are many interesting trades. All of them are important and useful. Vocational schools teach all kinds of trades for example: bus-driving, tram-and-trolley-bus driving, repairing radio and television sets, repairing refrigerators, dress-making, fitter, turner, shop assistant and others.
At the technical secondary school you may get the profession of a technician in repairing and assembling facilities (of the factory, of the computers), of a technologist in sugar and food industry, technician-technologist in treatment of materials.
At the institutes you may get the profession of a teacher, a doctor, an engineer, a journalist, a lawyer.
You may finish a school and work a year or two and then go on your education. All professions are necessary. But in our time of progress and competition it is very important to be a highly skilled and good specialist.
