III 2. Is there any profession you wouldn’t like to go into? Why (not)?

Worst jobs

#1 Newspaper Reporter

Once a respected and desirable profession the job of Newspaper Reporter or ‘Hack’ is high-stress and low-paid. What’s more, the print media industry is in crisis with many experts predicting its collapse in the next 10 years.

# 2 Lumberjack

Backbreaking labour, exposure to dangerous machinery, low wages, and remote locations conspire to make lumberjacking the second worst job in the world. It doesn’t matter how much you love trees or love cutting them down.

# 3 Enlisted Military personnel

If you live in a neutral country, a job in the army is a ticket to a life on the pig’s back, if not though you face the prospect of going to war where you’ll be routinely put into the most stressful conditions possible, for relatively little pay, in the crappiest environments. You’ll then have to suffer the after effects of your experiences with very little support and not much public sympathy.

# 4 Actor

The lack of work makes the drama sector extremely competitive and while you may be classically trained, your dreams of Hollywood stardom or playing Hamlet at the Old Vic might have to take a backseat as you are forced to dress up as a banana for promotional work. Very few make the big-time, while most end up double or triple jobbing to make ends meet. As you get older your employment prospects dwindle even further, especially if you’re a woman the likelihood of pension or retirement fund a very slim one. Use the examples of jobs from your student’s book: an entrepreneur, a nurse (tapescripts Unit 5 Lesson 1 ex. 4 b, 4 c), a barista (pp. 116-117 in your student’s book), a flight attendant (tapescripts Unit 5 Lesson2 ex.4 a)

III 5.Some people think that it is necessary to have computer skills to get a good job. Do you agree with this?

To some extent, I believe that they are right. Information Technology covers many areas of our lives and is an integral base for many tasks. In our time, there is no single company or organization where there are no computers. Also, these jobs must serve competent professionals in the field of programming. Accountants, HR professionals, architects, engineers and many others are in need of high-quality data processing. But, unfortunately, many people still do not know how to use a computer, or a poor command of programming. And it certainly needs to be corrected. People should read books as much as possible, learn from friends, as well as practice more on the computer since a person with good computer skills is more likely to find a decent job.
