Profession job career occupation

Let’s read the text

When deciding your future career you must be realistic about your interests and abilities. For example, if you want to choose medicine as your future profession you must be good at science, be patient, be attentive to people and have a strong desire to serve them.

Nowadays my dream is to become a doctor. Although my parents disagree with my ambition they doubt it is not suitable for me.

Some people see it as a difficult and stressful job while others think it is a rewarding and interesting career. Whatever your views, there is no doubt that working as a doctor is a demanding job with many advantages and disadvantages.

There are several arguments in favour of being a doctor. First of all, it is a rewarding job, as doctors help sick and injured people to recover. Furthermore, doctors are rarely out of work, as there is always demand for people to treat the sick and injured.

However, there are many disadvantages of working as a doctor. Firstly, it is a tiring job, because they work in shifts and often work at night. In addition, being a doctor can be depressing, as they often see people suffering.

I believe that, although being a doctor can be difficult at times, it is worth it. It is rewarding to help people recover from sickness or injury. Anyway, whatever happens I am going to have to get down to some hard work if I want to achieve my aims.
