WHICH CAREER?

1. MEDICINE

A medical career means years of studying and dedication and although it is a prestigious career, doctors

must be prepared to sacrifice some of their private life. To become a doctor you need to spend years at

university before working in a hospital. During the first few years of a medical career a doctor has to be on

call day and night. Then, depending on the area of specialization, for example they could choose to become a

surgeon, a doctor may start to make a lot of money. This ability to make money and the fact that doctors have

a high standing in society explains why many parents want their children to become doctors.

2. TEACHING

You will never become rich if you choose to enter the teaching profession, but teaching can be a very

rewarding career and of course there are the long vacations. You should be prepared to work with children

who may not be interested in school, as well as those who want to study. Becoming a teacher is more than just

getting a teaching qualification at university, it requires a certain talent to get your ideas across to young

people whilst making it enjoyable.

This is probably the teacher’s hardest task, making lessons fun, but still making sure students are

learning.

3. PLUMBING

Although it is a very important job, many young people do not think of plumbing as a possible career

choice. Yet society always needs plumbers and there is often a shorteage of good, qualified people around

which means they can change high prices for their services. Not only can plumbers earn good money, they are

also guaranteed constant work and they can choose to work the hours that suit them.
