CAREER PLANS: businessperson


Roman Bryzhatiy, 9a

As for me at present I consider becoming a businessman. I want to follow in the footsteps of my friend’s father, so I have the first hand information about this profession as he has shared experience with me. There are many advantages and disadvantages to doing this kind of job. One of the main advantages being a businessman is that you are your own boss. All your business depends on you. If you work hard, your job is well-paid if you do not - your job is poorly paid. To be a businessman you need to work hard because if you don’t work hard your business won’t exist for a long time. Businessman is a prestigious job. Society thinks that to be a businessman is very prestigious and businessmen earn too much. Furthermore, this job is rewarding because your own business is like your own child and everybody says that children are flowers of life, but I hate children and don’t think so. In addition to that, you will meet with people very often and probably part of them will become your friends or companions with who you can relax at the weekend.

On the other hand, there are disadvantages to becoming a businessman. Firstly, this job is very risky. Sometimes investments turn out to be unprofitable. If they don’t justify themselves your business will die. Moreover, business is very a tiring occupation, because your business is like your child so you have to be dedicated. Also, you will have too many meetings with investors and business partners. Besides that, sometimes you have to work overtime when you need to accept or decline offers about advertisement or investing. In addition to that being a businessman is very stressful occupation when you don’t know what to do and spectate how your business slowly dies.

Also I know that a good professional in this sphere must be responsible because he is responsible for fate of his business. A good professional in this sphere needs to be persuasive to convince investors to invest money. A good professional must be able to work under pressure because when everything is going to hell he needs to make right decisions to revive his company. And a good professional in this sphere has to have good communication skills to communicate with other people easily.

All things considered, becoming a businessman is a good idea for me because in my opinion, I’m suited for this occupation. First of all, I am aware of all the difficulties involved. In addition to that I’m confident, intelligent, ambitious. Moreover I’m interested in English, Law Study and Math. Finally I’m good at communicating with people. Anyway , I still have some years ahead to make a final decision. But I know for sure that I must focus on such subjects as English and Law Study because they will be necessary for my future career.
