The question of choosing a future profession worries both future students and their parents. A mistake is unacceptable here, since its consequences can affect the entire life of the child. Therefore, this issue must be taken as seriously as possible.
Instructions
Step 1
Explore your abilities. This can be done independently or with the help of professional psychologists. It is they who will help to identify your inclinations for a particular occupation. Various kinds of psychological tests, as well as articles and publications on similar topics, can bring certain benefits. However, it is not worth taking the test results as a basis, since their task is not to give a ready-made answer about the future of the person being tested, but to intensify his activity on introspection.
Step 2
Highlight for yourself all the professions and specialties you like. They can be both related to each other and relate to completely different areas. Try to study them thoroughly.
Step 3
Find out which subjects are related to your chosen profession and which majoring disciplines will be useful to you in the future.
Step 4
Next, find out which educational institutions prepare specialists of the required level, and whether there are similar universities in your region.
Step 5
Study the labor market in your region - what is the real need for these specialists, what is their value in the labor market, how important their work is for companies. Remember that some specialties are in demand only for a certain period, depending on the development of the market. You can also find out the opportunities for the development of the chosen profession, whether you will have the opportunity to get any related. After all, it is very important to have several specialties, especially in a situation of threatening unemployment.
Step 6
When choosing a profession, it is very important to be guided by your opinion, your needs and interests, and not your comrades. In this case, a sense of solidarity can play a cruel joke. When looking back at others, do not forget about yourself. It is also a mistake to blindly trust your parents. Of course, it is imperative to listen to their advice, but going to a certain institution only at the insistence of your parents would be the wrong step.
