It's Honourable to Be a Firefighter

I've always wanted to be a part of something large and meaningful. I'm a really hard worker, therefore I'm not frightened of a challenging or exhausting job. Furthermore, the pay is rather decent. That is why I picked this career path. Working in an office is tedious for me, therefore I prefer to work outside. People claim it's a risky career where you'll have to put your life on the line frequently. However, I don't mind because it will make me feel like a hero who protects people. Of course, I hope that such tragedies never occur, but they must. That is why I aim to stay in shape and gain strength so that I can rescue people from buildings.

Everybody Needs a Doctor

My mother used to take care of me when I was a kid. When she gave me pills, she was extremely attentive and patient, so I didn't feel any discomfort. Since then, I've been working in this field. According to mum, you must be well-educated and cautious, since those who work in such a position bear a great deal of responsibility. Unfortunately, as we all know, this is a low-paying job. In any case, it provides a lot of benefits. For example, you always work indoors in a warm environment. Furthermore, you are feeling great when you see healthy people and realize that this is a result of your efforts. Isn't it incredible?

Interpreter Isn't a Job for Everyone

I once saw a movie about a guy who was born into a large family and had a lot of siblings. I was so envious of him that I resolved to make as much money as possible. I'm not talking about a million-dollar or billion-dollar income; that's not for me. But I'm aiming for a well-paid position. That is why I picked this career path. The fact that you can work anywhere, whether indoors, outdoors, or even alone at home, appeals to me. My buddy claims that learning languages is tiresome and that translation is fascinating. I do not concur with him. Having such a job allows you to select your working hours, whether part-time or full-time. By the way, I believe that part-time jobs are only for students.
