How to choose a specialty in high school

After graduation, the question arises of which university to go to study. But an even more difficult question is which profession to choose.

Of course, it is worth thinking about this in advance, since these issues require consideration and weighing all the pros and cons. But if there is no time, then you need to listen to yourself. Maybe there is an area in which you feel great. For example, knowledge of a foreign language or physicist. Maybe you have creativity or love sports.

It’s worth answering such questions: where are I more drawn to, what subjects did I like at school, what are my hobbies? Answers to these questions will help in choosing a specialty. It is likely that after graduation you will not go to work in your specialty, but you will be able to do what you really like. Otherwise, you may want to quit your studies already from the second year.

Next, you need to clarify with people who work in this direction all the nuances. How to find such people? It is very easy, it can be your relatives or acquaintances, as well as acquaintances of acquaintances and so on. These may be those people who are already working in this area. They will be able to tell you about all the pitfalls, as well as what are the directions and prospects for employment.

Next, you need to find out in which universities they teach this specialty. To do this, study all the information on universities, and then make a list. The information that you need can be found not only in the selection committee, but also in the dean’s office or read on the Internet. It is also worth talking with students studying these specialties. This can be done through social networks.

Next, you need to familiarize yourself with the list of necessary documents for admission and enrollment, the terms of the tender, the availability of budget and contract seats, as well as the possibilities of switching from a contract to a budget.
