Topic: «Choosing a career. The world of jobs»

1) Read and translate.
«Choosing a career»

How do we choose a career? Part of the problem is the size and complexity of the job market itself. Seven hundred and sixty-three different occupations were listed by the United States Department of Labor, and this list is probably incomplete.
For most people, choosing a career isn’t easy, yet it is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your life. Find the right career and you’ll be happy and successful. Find the wrong career and you may be unhappy and unsuccessful all your life. It pays, therefore, to explore your choice of occupation from every angle, collect as much information as you can, actually try different kinds of work before making up your mind. Above all, evaluate yourself. Be sure you know all your own talents, skills, interests, and weak points.
Unfortunately, not everyone takes this trouble. Those who don’t, can make costly mistakes. For example, some people simply follow in the footsteps of a parent or a relative. One young man whom I know became a doctor only because it was his father’s profession. Yet he couldn’t stand the sight of blood. One day he had to amputate a leg, and, after making the first cut, fainted in the operation room. Now he is a taxi driver in New York and pretty happy.
