There are many interesting and useful professions and it is really not an easy task to choose the right one. I began to think about my future profession at school. I didn't make a blind choice and it was not a sudden flash either. I was looking for a career in business economics. So, now I am a student of extra-mural department at Gomel State University named after F. Skorina. I am studying to become an economist.

Economics is the science of making choices which is based upon the facts of our everyday life. Economists study our everyday life and the system which affects it. They try to describe the facts of the economy in which we live and to explain how the system works. The science of economics is concerned with all our material needs and wants.

To become a good specialist in economics and business one must be good at economics, finance and credit, statistics, history of economic theory, mathematics, as well as economic management, trade business and, of course, marketing, which is a modern philosophy of business. At the University we study macroeconomics and microeconomics, marketing and price formation, international marketing, world economy, economic theory, international economic relations, insurance and other special and general subjects.

It is very important for a specialist in business matters to be computer competent and to speak at least one foreign language. It should better be English as it is the most popular language of international business communication. You’ll be able to follow business developments in the world by listening to radio and TV news, by reading newspapers or magazines, or by getting in contact with your business partners abroad. The world of finance is very dynamic and changeable, so it is necessary for us to get up-to-date information.

There’s a surprisingly wide range to choose from in the financial world. The University diploma creates opportunities for a wide range of carriers in public and private sector, manufacturing and service industries.

Now I try to make the best of my abilities to achieve my life’s ambition. I also hope that I’ll never regret my choice and get a well-paid and interesting job afterwards.
