Male And Female Occupations
There are a lot of different professions in this world. Some of them are more suitable for men, some of them are suitable for women but today due to gender equality they are no longer so divided. However, certain professions remain suitable mostly for men since they are considered physically hard, harmful or even dangerous. That’s why women don’t usually work as loaders, loggers or firefighters. There are not so many women among astronauts, police or in the army. Strong men that can easily cope with any physical obstacle usually can’t do child-rearing. That’s why the majority of teachers in schools and in kinder gardens are women. The majority of girls are working in beauty industry and cookery because esthetic vision and peculiar taste are usually more common for women than men. Although this situation has been changing a lot recently and more and more men become stylists, hairstylists, chefs and pastry chefs. The salary plays an important role as well. Men usually don’t agree to work for less money because they are typically the main providers for their families. Women can work part time so they will be able to spend more time with their children. However, a lot of professions can be suitable for both genders nowadays. The same percentage of men and women work in legal industry, healthcare and marketing. Architecture and design are also suitable for both genders as well as different creative professions. Since there are not so many differences between male and female occupations we don’t have to worry about it. It gives you some freedom of choice and everyone can follow their own road and do everything they want in their lives.
IT specialist.
Each person sooner or later thinks about choosing a profession. Someone already knows who he wants to become. It takes the other person more time to decide who they want to become. Personally, I have already decided who I will be. I am planning to become an IT specialist. We live in an age of advanced technology. The daily life of people is associated with information technology. IT specialists are people who develop computer programs, set up computer networks, create websites and provide software support. One of the most important duties is to provide all the necessary assistance to the users round-the-clock. In addition, they repair broken computers. After graduation, I plan to enter the Faculty of Informatics. Another reason why I want to become a programmer is the high salary. The knowledge of programmers is highly valued all over the world. If I wish, I can travel to any country in the world and find a job as an IT specialist with a high salary. I also dream of getting to the US Silicon Valley and walking around the place where Steve Jobs lived and worked. Where he started his journey. In the world of information technology, the IT professionals work with a wide variety of clients. The most important thing in work is qualifications, knowledge and skills. The future of a person depends on the choice of a profession. Everyone should choose the profession that will suit him. I hope I made the right choice.
