Now, opposite each hobby, you need to write out everything that is suitable for the profession.

Do you like animals?

Then the profession of a veterinarian, zoologist, zoopsychologist, cynologist or trainer will suit you.

Like to correct people - then your choice is a teacher, a linguist, etc.

Love to beat Vaska - then your choice for a boxing coach or karate. .

Is the essence clear?

At this stage it is important to write out all the variants of acceptable professions, so that later there is a choice.

We find interest in choosing the profession


After you have written out all the acceptable variants of the professions, cross out the ones that are for some reason not interesting to you.

For example, from the professions related to animals you liked only a veterinarian. The rest boldly cross out.

Analyze the possibility of creating your own small business, for example, opening your own vet.clinics, etc.

To do this it is necessary, first of all, in order not to be disappointed in the future in the specialty!

I will give you an example of my friend who dreamed of becoming a teacher in a kindergarten.

5 years she studied at the institute, and then joyful settled in a kindergarten. Having worked only for a year, the girlfriend quickly faded from there.

Why?

And you imagine: 30 young children who need to pay attention, wipe their drooling and soplyki, learn the alphabet with them. And at the end of the working day, 30 moms and dads come and express their claims to the teacher.

And all this for a record low salary of 5 thousand rubles!

As a result, received a diploma of higher education flew into the trash, and a friend went to work in the store as a seller.

Remember: no matter how much you love your business, without money it will hang on your neck only with a heavy load. No matter how hard it sounded, but so is our world!

Errors in choosing the profession


To summarize, I would like to draw your attention to the mistakes that graduates allow when choosing a profession.

By the way, I myself almost did one of the mistakes. ..

How to choose a profession? A little bit about the prestige of the professions.

Never, remember EVER, do not be fooled by the prestige of the profession.

Why?

It's simple.

Today, the chosen profession can be wildly popular, and after 5 years no one needs it and vice versa.

30 years ago, such positions as a doctor and a teacher were wildly prestigious and highly paid professions.

And now, 20 years ago, teachers and doctors were making ends meet, earning a mere penny.

And 10 years ago economists and managers were needed in large numbers.

Today, the services of hairdressers, painters, etc. are in great demand.

So prestige is a fickle business.

And who knows, maybe in another 10 years the profession of a sewer will be worth its weight in gold.

Parental choice of the future profession for the child

It often happens that parents choose a future profession for their child.

Misha wants to be a pilot, and my mom forces me to enter an economic college.

In this case, it is very important to resist the parent's instructions!

If you have chosen a profession that suits you, do it your way.

Go to the university you think is necessary.

If the parents continue to saw, act more cunningly.

Tell your parents what they want to hear, and do it your own way.

Not enrolled in a university chosen by parents?

It does not matter!

After all, you submitted documents at once to 3-4 places.

And what luck that you were taken to your chosen institution.

I admit honestly, this is the method I went to the institute I needed, avoiding a parent Mathsak!

Well, if you really can not decide on the choice of profession , then resort to the help of parents, and to the help of friends, and to the help of grandmothers.

And remember: who is looking for - that will always find.
