My Future Profession

There are many interesting and useful professions and it is really not an easy task to choose the right one. While choosing a job many factors should be taken into consideration: wages, job satisfaction, variety of opportunities, social importance. The most important criterion for me is the job satisfaction. I also think about the employment opportunities in my future occupation.

I have always been interested in the facts of the economy in which we live and this influenced a lot my way of thinking and my interests. I decided to get a basic education in the field of economics. I am a student of the Economics and Law Faculty of the Institute of Law and in the near future (after graduation from the Institute) I’ll become an economist. I’m sure that the profession of an economist is one of the most important nowadays in view of the situation in our Republic. Good specialists in economics are always in great demand.

Economics is a very specific and responsible occupation. I believe economics to be a very valuable and challenging profession that requires dedication, lots of enthusiasm, love and deep knowledge of the subject.

The profession of an economist is quite diversified. The graduates of our Faculty work at educational institutions, various research centres and laboratories, in industry, business, banks, etc. Being employed in industry and business, our graduates work as managers, accountants, auditors, book-keepers, brokers, etc. Some of the graduates work for the government or are employed by various agencies and by military services.

Knowing the economic laws of the development of the society, economists can solve many problems facing our Republic and I hope I’ll manage to make my contribution to this process.
