Countless surveys have shown that money doesn’t necessarily lead to job satisfaction, enjoying what you do at work as much more important. However, you must consider earnings, among other things when you are evaluating an occupation.

Moreover one more point should be admitted. The young people often listen to their parents’ or friends’ advice but it doesn’t mean that the particular field which has been told by these people suits you, because everyone is different and if something is good for one it can be bad for another.

In a word this topic is discussable endless, but before choosing your future job, you have to answer one question: what an ideal job means to you. For it you ought to consider the following items:

An ideal job for me is a job….

• that suits my personality,

• risky,

• exciting

• that encourages thinking and development,

• calm and steady,

• which is connected with communication,

• prestigious,

• part-time (full time),

• with (without) long trips.

When you’ve decide which field you are interested in, make up a resume (CV) and send to the different companies, wait for the answer and be ready to the interview.
