In the context of school vocational guidance (SEP), the students of the third gymnasium talk about their professional future.

WHAT WILL I BECOME WHEN I GROW UP?

Girl

The profession I want to pursue in the future is an archaeologist. The reasons I chose this profession are as follows: I really like history and I like to discover things and place them on a chronological scale. No one influenced me in this choice of mine and neither will it affect me. At the moment I don't have any alternative options in mind.

At the age of thirty I imagine myself as follows: to be a very successful archaeologist with a master's degree, who will continue to do excavations and with a happy family with two children and my husband.

Boy

I would like to become an engineer because I think our area lacks a good and organized machine shop and the residents when faced with a problem are forced to go to Kalloni. In my choice I was not influenced by my parents or friends but by my interests. If this option is not fulfilled, I would like to become a police officer so that I can enter the public sector and have a sure monthly salary.

As far as the machine shop is concerned, I think that Eressos will endure such a business since it needs it. My brother can also benefit from this, while in addition there will be a paved job for the children I will have in the future.

Girl

The profession I want to pursue is a teacher. When I was in elementary school I wanted very much to be a hairdresser. I thought it was my dream. Now that I am a third grade of high school and I am doing the AEP class, my teacher often asks me about what I think of doing. And I answer hairdresser. But because I am a good student and I have the potential for a school, I started thinking about the teaching profession.

I'm starting to like the idea because it has a lot of good things. Good salary, eight hours, stamps, holidays and much more.

Alternative options I haven't thought about because I think I'll succeed.

When I go thirty years old I imagine me as a teacher, maybe married and successful.

Boy

I would like to become an entrepreneur, because I like this job a lot and I know it well, since my father has a shop down the stairs. No one influenced me in this choice. If I don't make it, I would also be interested in the profession of refrigeration. When I am thirty years old I want to have two shops and be engaged.

Girl

For years I have been liked the profession of beautician. Some reasons I want to do this profession are the following: it has good earnings, it is not too tiring and I will not work long hours.

For this job I chose to do, no one has influenced me. I decided it myself. If I don't manage to do this profession I would like to become a police officer. When I reach the age of thirty I imagine myself with a shop of my own which will go well and with a good family.

Boy

I would like to become a mining engineer. The reason is that my father has a quarry and is associated with this profession. I have also met other mining engineers and from what they say it has good financial rewards and a lot of interest. If I don't succeed, the alternatives I have are to work in my father's business or to open a shop with products for the car (rims, tires, lubricants, etc.). I believe that in my thirties I have very likely achieved my goal of working normally having a family as well.

Girl

I liked children from a young age, so I want to become a nursery nursery. No one has influenced me to choose it. It's just a profession I want.

An alternative for me is a Kindergarten Teacher since this is also a profession related to children. At the age of thirty I imagine a nursery nursery married with four or five children.

Boy

I want to become a car refinisher, that is, to make cars and then paint them. My father does the same job and every summer he takes me with him, and when I grow up he will give me the shop to work in. I like this work and I have chosen it. I have been influenced by my father but to a very small extent. I don't have another profession in my mind since I know that this will be the job I will do. At the age of thirty I will begin to have a family and children.
