After finishing school millions of young people face a very responsible and difficult problem – choosing a future occupation. There are more than 2,000 professions in the world. To choose the right one is not a simple thing. Many factors should be taken into consideration.

As for me, job satisfaction is the key factor. You will never be disappointed in your job, if you love it.

Employment opportunities can give better chances to find a job.

Job prospects can open the way for career growth.

Social importance of legal professionsis very significant in the law-governed statethat we are creating in our country.

No doubt, suitability for a profession is of special importance. The requirements to specialists in the sphere of law include:

· professional competence: knowledge, skills and experience;
