I am interested in business english too – maybe we can try to find some interesting business topics to all of us?

yes, of course. There are a lot of business topics we could talk about, like for example emplyment, marketing, meetings, money etc. smile.gif
Right now I'm improving my business english reading a few books, doing exercises. But the bad thing is that those books are in electronic format, so it's a little difficult to look at the screen for a long time. And to print all these books would cost too much rolleyes.gif

I see we started a new topic here smile.gif Good subject Xingute mirksiukas.gif
Nowadays (let's say in Lithuania) the most popular profession i think is a manager.
Accountant i see as a stressful profession cause such people have a lot of responsabilities.
I won't talk about my profession here cause can't say yet I have one rolleyes.gif I finished college but don't have much experience.
Right now I'm a babysitter. As probably you all know, this job requires a lot of patience rolleyes.gif

Hello,
thanks for new topic.
Such situation regarding manager's profession in my opinion is due to variety of branches it is required. If i were a manager, i would like to work in logistic field.
Another sphere i admire is tourism management cause it is very dynamic work, required good comunication skills.

When you leave school you understand that the time to choose your future profession, your future life has become. It's not an easy to make the right choice of a job. I have known for long time that leaving school is the beginning of my independent life, the beginning of a far more serious examination of my abilities and character.
A few years ago I wanted to become a cosmonaut, a Santa Klaus, a hairdresser. But all of them now are in the past, they were like children's dreams and nothing more. Now I know what I want to do and I do. I am a manager ax.gif I should know perfectly everything about the people, organisation, clients and other things... It is very interesting for me wub.gif
I also want to say that the profession should be chosen according to the character and hobbies of the person. That's why parents mustn't make their children choose the thing they like (parents like). Children must do it themselves. Because they must love the thing they do, believe that people need them and their job will bring them more pleasure.
What are you thinking about that?
What are yours children's dreams?

Hi,

So about popular profession in this time. I think that now it is very popular to be manager, lawer, politician. And I know that this year it was very big competition in Civil engineering and the most young people after school choose namely this profession. But I think that it isn't right, because all have to choose that what they like.Because they will work this job all live.
In school I liked history and policy, but studed other subject. verysad.gif This year I study again and now I am pleased for my study rolleyes.gif

So it is a little what I mean smile.gif
