INTRODUCTION

There are certainly many interesting and worthy professions in the modern world, but we think that people should choose the best one for them.

In our opinion,  we’d like to choose a prestigious or perspective and enjoyable profession.

The theme that we’ve chosen for the project is called «Choosing an Electrician Career». This area seems to be the most attractive for us because it’s impossible to imagine our life without a profession which is an essential part of human life. Nowadays, this topic is very relevant because sooner or later young people have to make an important decision. Choosing a career is not a simple matter, in fact, it can be one of the most important things in our life. You don’t need to rush with a decision. You should carefully consider your abilities and character, take a realistic view of your strengths and weaknesses, pay attention to your parents’ and friends’ advice and take into account your own preferences. Many roads are open before us: technical schools, colleges and universities. Centuries ago there were only a few jobs: people were farmers, bakers, butchers or carpenters. Today there are thousands of different kinds of jobs, and new ones are constantly appearing. No wonder that it is not an easy thing to make the right choice.

The main purpose of our work is to research different kinds of professions, their importance in people’s lives and show young people’s career preferences at present.

To achieve this goal we formulated the following tasks for ourselves:

• to choose the main types of professions in the modern world and describe them;

• to tell about our future career and our choice;

• to conduct a survey among young people in order to show their career preferences at present;

• to sum up the results of our research.

1. Categories of Professions

The word “profession” came from the Latin «profession», which means “the official occupation.”

All professions can be divided into several types:

1.1 Relevant and popular professions

Fashion for the profession is constantly changing: some lose relevance, while others acquire it. In connection with the Internet technology, which is very increased in recent time the most popular professions became those ones that associated with information technologies: first of all programmers, system administrators, web designers.

1.2 Women’s professions

Professions for women, as a rule, do not require great physical exertion and they are associated with training or care. Suitable for women work requires attention to detail, thoroughness, observation. The most feminine occupations are teachers, educators, nurses, conductors, stewardesses, accountants, cashiers, fitness instructors.

1.3 Men’s professions

Men’s professions usually require courage, strong nerves, heavy physical labor. The most male occupations are security guards, firefighters, military men, mechanics, scientists and builders, electrician, energy, welder, mechanic, technical engineer, and also in information technology.

1.4 Dangerous professions

There are many dangerous occupations where people can be injured or even killed. These are mainly male and the most dangerous professions in the world:

·        Fishermen (the cause of accidents can be sea storm, cold water).

·        Electricians of high-voltage lines (in this profession, there is a danger of high voltage).

·        Industrial climbers (there is a risk of falling objects or climber from a great height).

·        Firefighters (when extinguishing a fire is a great risk of physical injury on that crumbling structure, overheating of the body, poisoning chemicals).

·        Miners (there are explosions, cave-ins in mines, methane poisoning, carbon monoxide).

2. Professions in our technical school (research).

There are a lot of professions in the world. Choosing a profession is a very difficult choice. It is very important both for the person and for the society.

In our technical school you can find such professions as:

·        Firefighters;

·        Cooks;

·        Electricians;

·        Hairdressers;

·        Information technology;

·        Mechanics

We made the questionnaire among our students to learn what are the most dangerous, prestigious and popular professions in our technical school     (Appendix 1).

During our work we asked the students questions such as:

1. What are the most dangerous professions?

2. What are the most prestigious professions?

3. Which professions are the most popular?

According to our survey, we’ve learnt that the most dangerous profession is a firefighter; the most prestigious profession in our technical school is IT and 

the most popular profession – firefighter.

One of the most important criteria for the choice of profession among our students is the level of future salary. And this is not surprising. Everyone wants to receive appropriate reward for the honest work.

3. Our future career

We thought many times which job would be suitable for us. Eventually we have decided to be an electrician. We asked our groupmates why they chose this profession too (video).

They said that an electrician is a person who can perform many different tasks, such as electronic systems repair, solar photovoltaic installation, and industrial component wiring.

    What do electricians do all day?

     They design, install, maintain, troubleshoot electrical wiring systems and repair electrical power.

     Electricians work either inside or outside.

          Inside wiremen focus on installing new electrical systems in new buildings and troubleshooting problems or replacing older systems.

     Outside linemen work with transformers, transmission lines and traffic signals. They may also be required to trim trees or assemble electrical substations.

     We chose to be an electrician because we want to demonstrate both technical knowledge and general professionalism, to proud of our profession, to be able to help others, and make them feel safe to live in their communities.

CONCLUSION

The purpose of our work was the actualization of the attention to such an important part of our lives as a profession.

The tasks of our project is to examine the theme from two sides: the world of professions and choosing the career.

We like the electrician's job, because we find it very interesting! Our life today is impossible without electricity. Computers, domestic appliances, factory machines, medical equipment, electric trains, telephone communication and all kinds of gadgets will not run if there is a power failure. There must be somebody to fix it and this person must know what to do and how to do it properly.

We choose this profession because we think that we have all the qualities required for success in this specialty, namely:

1) Ability to make decisions for which you need to be responsible;

2) Performance and self-confidence;

3) A good reaction, caution and attentiveness;

4) Keen eyesight, good hand-eye coordination and a good sense of balance.

Choosing a profession in the life of every person is of great importance. This is a choice of life way, the choice of fate. It's a choice that everyone makes in youth age. Confucius said: “The person who found your favorite job, all his life doesn’t work.”
