Careers

Spotlight on Russia talks to some Russian teenagers about their career plans.

Tatiana believes her career dream will come true

Nika is looking forward to doing something she enjoys

Sasha wants to be creative with people’s hair

Arkady is enjoying his youth but is going to start thinking about a career

Tatiana (16)
“My ambition is to become a diplomat because politics and travel have always fascinated me. My favourite school subjects are English and History, so I think my career plan makes sense. I used to think it would be impossible to pursue such a career, but I found out what I needed to do and I realised that it’s within my grasp. I’ll have to go to university, of course, which means I’ll have to do well in secondary school. I don’t mind, though, because now I know what I really want to do with my life.”

Sasha (17)
“I love art and design. However, I wouldn’t like to be a professional artist. Instead, I’m considering becoming a hairstylist. That way I could combine my creative talents and earning a regular income. My training will involve working in a well-known salon in Moscow and attending specialist seminars abroad. One day I’d like to open my own salon, and I hope I can use my experience and talent to make it one of the most fashionable places in Moscow.”

Nika (17)
“I find it difficult to make up my mind about the kind of career I want as there are so many things I’d like to do. These days, there aren’t any jobs for life, so I know I’ll have to take a few risks and adapt to a changing world. But whatever happens, I’m determined to find a job I really love. I believe in that old Chinese proverb: “Find a job you enjoy, and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

Arkady (15)
“I haven’t thought much about what I want to do after school. I’ve been too busy enjoying myself. I’m only 15, so I think there’s plenty of time for me to consider my options. People say I’m a caring and considerate person, so I think a job in a non-profit organisation helping people would suit me best. I’m going to find out more about that.”
