During our school life we begin to think about our future profession. After leaving school some young people start working, go into business, the others get professional or higher education. While choosing a career you should take into consideration all main possibilities that your future profession provides. The profession must be interesting, it must give you an opportunity to earn a living and you must be sure of your future job. There are many professions in the world, so it is quite difficult to choose one. Some follow their own choice, the others – their parents’ advice. As for me, I have chosen the profession of a medical worker, because this ancient profession is noble and respectable. A medical worker prevents diseases and prolongs life of people. His duty is to treat people and fight against infections. To be a good medical worker means to be honest, unselfish, hard-working, attentive to people, responsible and optimistic. I must work hard to realize my dream to become a medical worker.
