Every person at the age of 14 to 16 has to make an extremely stressful decision, to choose his or her own career. You might be wondering what the difference is between a career and a job. Basically a job is something you do, but don't expect to continue doing forever. A career is what you hope to do for a long time or even for your entire working life. Choosing a career is a difficult and challenging task: the decision once taken will influence your future life. There are, of course, a lot of examples when people have changed their career paths in their twenties, thirties and even forties but, of course, it is better to make the right choice at the very beginning. The earlier you decide on what profession is interesting and rewarding for you, the more you can achieve during your lifetime.

Choosing a career is a challenging task indeed. It is all about finding the perfect match between your personality, interests, and skills. On the one hand, modern society, with its hundreds of professions and jobs, presents a vast range of future job opportunities. Industry and business, farming, science and education, medicine, service, arts and journalism are just a few professional fields a young person can specialize in. On the other hand, modern society with its crises, unemployment and inflation, makes a poor choice of profession a really bad mistake. You can choose a profession you really like, and face problems when looking for a job. Or you can find a job you like, but it will be underpaid. Choosing a career is a challenging task indeed.

When young people leave school they face the problem of choosing a career, that's the time when they have to decide what they are going to be in future. You don't need to hurry making a decision. You should examine your abilities and character very thoroughly, take a realistic view of your strengths and weaknesses, pay attention to your parents' and friends' advice and take into account your own preferences.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth. Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

ДРУГАЯ ДОРОГА Скрещенье тропинок в осеннем лесу, Когда б раздвоился, я выбрал бы обе, А так — словно держишь судьбу на весу, Стоишь и глядишь сквозь сухую листву На ту, что теряется в темной чащобе. Я выбрал другую, — она посветлей, И мне показалась еще нелюдимей, Приятней на вид и трава зеленей; Хотя для того, кто проходит по ней, Отличия вряд ли уже различимы, — Их, если и были, укрыл листопад, Еще не примял его грубый ботинок. О, если бы снова вернуться назад! Но вряд ли решусь на сердечный разлад, На зов и соблазны бегущих тропинок. Со вздохом припомню, годы спустя, Как чаша весов в равновесье застыла: Тропинки скрестились в лесу, и я — Пошел по заброшенной. Может быть, зря… Но это все прочее определило.

“If you don’t wake up in the morning excited to pick up where you left your work yesterday, you haven’t found your calling yet.” ~ Mike Wallace Many students take a gap year after school and start working in order to find out what their interests are and choose their future career. Besides, they can get the necessary experience and it will be a useful introduction to the world of business. Many people nowadays follow the traditional ‘start at the bottom and work your way up’ approach. What is more, they will earn money and become independent of their parents.

When it’s the matter of love and happiness, nothing else knows better than your heart. After using your brain and its logic or reasoning power, pay attention to your intuitions and feelings of your heart. How can you ignore your heart while choosing a career, which is like selecting your love of life? Choose a career that you can live. You can make that out when you find that your heart and mind are always absorbed with your career, and you’ve no problems with it. If you find that you’re good at what you do, you’re comfortable with it, enjoy doing it, and there’s scope in all aspects – then you’ve found the right career.
