Choosing a Career

All young people at a certain period in life have to face the problem of choosing a career. The task is not easy. People usually want to have an interesting, prestigious, well-paid and prospective job.

Lots of psychological problems arise from an uninteresting, unloved job, such as low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, aggressiveness, inferiority complexes, depressions, and nervous break-downs. Not infrequently, professional problems become an indirect or direct cause for family confusions, and divorces. A lot of grown-up, self-realized people confess that if they had an opportunity, they would choose a different profession. (There are cases when adults decide to get a second higher education, a second diploma, so to say.) And very often parents play a "fatal role" in their children's choice of a future profession.

When parents choose a future profession for their child, frequently the main reasons for the choice are: prestige, fashion, money, an opportunity to get a good job and later on a promotion, sometimes because elder children have the same profession: it runs in the family, so to speak. But you shouldn't forget that in every profession there are a lot of specialists who \ haven't found themselves, those, ' who even having an opportunity to get a good, prestigious job, have been unable to realize themselves.

Helping their son or daughter choose a future profession, parents must take into consideration the fact that school marks don't reflect the presence or absence of abilities for this or that subject at all. It is not a secret that a lot of children's talents remain undeveloped due to unfavourable circumstances.

From what age should parents pay attention to the professional orientation of their child? The earlier the better! Of course, you can only think about a concrete choice of a profession in the last forms of secondary school. But a part of the child's abilities and inclinations already reveal themselves by the

age of three. Having recognized them with the help of a specialist, or with your own keen observations, you get an opportunity to develop the child more purposefully. This knowledge will help you to make the right choice of higher education. Mothers and fathers must remember that, first of all, they have to take their children's preferences into account: one can hardly be successful in a profession that one doesg't like.

When you have chosen a profession, try to find out as much as possible about it. Together with the child, visit a probable higher educational institution, talk to graduates who have already got the profession or who already have diplomas. You may also view a list of job offers according to the profession you've chosen. If you can, visit a likely place of work, get some information on working conditions, working hours, perspectives, and salaries. Sometimes a seemingly attractive and romantic profession turns out to be commonplace and uninteresting.

And another important thing: rank doesn't give privilege, it confers responsibility. You should bring this home to a child: a child must be prepared to take responsibility. The more money one earns, the higher the level of social responsibility one has to accept. If there is any room for disappointment, let it take place before and not after getting the education.

A psychologist can help you to discover your child's abilities and chief work type at an early stage. You ought to know what suits your child best: manual labour or intellectual. It is better if a specialist knows not only Russian methods of determining professional fitness, but also foreign ones, as the tradition of using them abroad is much older. As a result of testing, parents will be given a list of professional fields where their child can work most successfully in the future.

Jane's parents encourage her to start saving money for college. She must also learn how to deal with money. She earns a little working at the local McDonald's. Often she trims garden shrubs. From now on Jane will deposit small sums to set money aside for college.

Jane looks at the teller and nods her head. She likes this lady. She feels com­fortable and her confidence grows.

—Yes, please, — Jane smiles shyly.

—You are opening your first savings account, right?

—Yes, — says Jane.

—Fine, — says the teller. She hands Jane her new credit card and the change.

Text for listening "Crazy Women Shopping":

According to the latest research, shopping may deprive women of common sense. Using magnet-resonant tomography, scientists managed to measure electric activity in the brains of women who were shopping. They measured it exactly in the part responsible for com­mon sense and rational thinking. The results of the research show that ability to think well and make rational decisions before a purchase goes down dramatically but that emotions and pleasure sensations reach the limit. When women are buying really expensive things, the ability to think rationally is non-existent.

At the same time, hunting for discounts decreases stress - people do not need to think, and they feel pleased and comfortable. They leave behind their problems, disconnect from reality, and simply do what they want.

Gold Rush

John Jones arrived in Colorado in the gold rush of 1859. He was young, strong, ambitious and tenacious. He struck it rich, but he played cards and soon he was poor again.

For some time John worked on a farm. Then he hit the road again and went on prospecting for the elusive metal. This time John was out of luck and did not find wealth. Gold proved to be more a chimera for him this time.

John gave up all hope but he continued his desperate quest for riches. John never found gold. But, as luck would have it, he found silver. Soon he got rich again.

John moved into a large house in Denver. Things were looking up.

Disaster struck quite unexpectedly. Fire destroyed the city. John's house went up in flames.

A year later some remaining buildings were swept away by a severe flood.

But John had already left the city. Now he became a sheep rancher. He worked hard and the ranch was not far from Denver. Soon John prospered again.
