CHOOSING A PROFESSION:

The Gardener   taken from The World of Work Unit 7     p. 71
Hugo Grantchest, 26, has been a gardener and a tree surgeon for four years.  He went to Oxford University in Oxford, England to study archaeology, but he dropped out (გამოაგდეს)after just one term.  His father, Hector, is a surveyor and his mother, Geraldine, is an interior designer.   In the selection below, Hugo and his mother are talking about his choice of careers.  
Hugo:
When I was 11, we moved to a large Tudor house in East Anglia which had three acres of garden.  We had a gardener who lived in a little cottage at the end of our drive.  I used to spend hours watching him work and talking to him.   I think I picked up(ავითვისე) a lot about gardening without realizing it, because one summer, when I was still at school, I took a job at a garden centre and I knew all the names of the plans, and I could give people advice.  Then I went to university and it was a disaster(საშინელი).  After a term I told my parents that I was going to give it up (შეწყვეტა)and go back to work in the garden centre.   They were furious, we had a terrible row, and they didn’t speak to me for months.  But, I knew it was a waste of time to carry on studying archaeology, and the moment I started gardening again, I knew I’d made the right decision.  I’ve enjoyed every moment of the last four years and my parents have learnt to accept what I do, not only because they see how happy I am, but also because a lot of my university friends have found it difficult to find good jobs or have been made redundant.  Sometimes people are quite taken aback when they found out that their gardener went to university, but I think it makes them respect my opinion more when I’m helping them plan their gardens. 
Hugo’s Mother:
His father and I were delighted when he went to Oxford, but when he gave it up so soon we were very, very angry.  We thought manual labor was not the career for our only son.  We fell out for months.  Hector refused to allow Hugo into the house, and we all felt thoroughly miserable.  But our daughter told us not to worry because Hugo would be a millionaire by the time he was forty.  Anyway we’ve made it up now we can see how happy he is, even though he hasn’t become a millionaire yet!  Times have changed and all kinds of people do all kinds of work, and I think the world is a better place for it!

8.     Why do you think that it is important to look at the kinds of jobs that are available on the market before choosing a profession?   Do you ever look at jobs.ge   and think about what profession you would like?
