On the golden porch sat the tsar, the prince, the king, the king, the cobbler, the tailor--who will you be?
Everyone knows this childish count. The sequel is simple: choose any title and continue the game. Life, baby, isn't that simple. Well, think for a moment, what are you really going to be when you grow up? A king? A king? I would like to, but alas! What if I became a shoemaker? Or tailors?
How many people have to work so that everyone has a table and a house, books and clothes and many other useful things. Some useful things people just get in nature. But natural things are not used very often these days. Almost all useful things these days they do themselves from different materials. To do a useful thing, you need a suitable material and tool. You also need skill and time. Anyway, it's time to talk aboutprofessorYeah.
Long ago, people lived only in warm countries. From bad weather and enemies, they sheltered in caves. These ancient people dressed in palm leaves or animal skins, foraging in the forest or in the water. Cooking at the stake. In those ancient times, people did not yet know how to make useful things, tools and machines from natural materials. There were no masters or workshops. There was nothing in those old days.professorOops.
These days.professorIt's become a lot. There are so many things that I can't list. But we're not gonna do that. We will tell you only about the most important and necessary.
Historyprofessorooze
In Russia 600 years ago appeared the first king. His name was Ivan III. Since then, letters and books have been preserved. That's it.professorAnd they are called: shooter, cook, breadmaker, tailor, armored man, gardener, psar, fisherman, piper, deacon, miller, duckling, falconer, gardener, carpenter, silver master, stirr, pastor, merchant, clothman.
What did the shooter, cook, gardener, fisherman, miller, gardener, carpenter, silver craftsman, merchant, mason – it is clear. But what did the piper, the deacon, the duckling, the falconer, the armored, the bread-bread-bread-bread-bread-bread-man, the squeaker and the pearl-master do? AboutprofessorMaybe even mom and dad don't know! It is mentioned in ancient letters and such.professorAs a doctor, apothecary and engineer with an assistant. It is written that Tsar Ivan the Terrible invited these masters from England.
In the old days, people were proud of their skill. At the other end of the city, they did not go to work in the old days, but lived in the same place where they worked. The masters gave names to the streets. In ancient cities there were Armory streets, Myasnitsky, Kuznetsk. These ancient names are still preserved in Moscow. Sometimes whole cities are called byprofessorAnd residents. For example, the suburban city of Bronnitsy!
All right.professorThey won't fit on one porch. There are thousands of them. And new ones come up all the time. Teach a lot now.professorI'm in special institutions. (But I have to finish school first!)
A profession is a business that is done every day and that is useful for other people. Professions need to be specially trained. Each case has its own rules. For example, a carpenter should know how to hold a shirt and how to remove shavings. The violinist has different rules. The violinist needs to be able to hold a bow, not a shirt. Of course, the violin is made of wood, but it does not need to be removed. The violinist moves the bow along the strings and receives musical sounds.
Each profession has its own tools (as a carpenter has a rub, and a musician has a bow). Some professions require very complex machines. A pilot is a plane, a captain is a ship, a scientist is a computer.
How to choose a profession?
It is very important that the work is to your liking. Only then can you become a master of your business.
Let's say a man loves nature. Then he will like the work of a geologist, agronomist, gardener, vegetable grower, veterinarian, shepherd, milkmaid, farmer, fish farmer, forester, hunter or scientist-biologist. Almost everyone who chose such professions in childhood loved everything alive. Were young. Collecting collections. Grown at home or in the garden and on the beds of cultivated plants. They took care of their pets.
The other person is interested in everything related to people. Such a person likes to be a guide, teacher, nanny, coach, educator, waiter, seller, cashier, investigator, judge, librarian. Today, a new profession has emerged: manager.
And the technique? Isn't that interesting? There are so many important and useful things for those who love machines and machines! Technology is a very complex and responsible business. The technician needs to know very well. In skilled hands, any machine and mechanism are wonderful helpers. In unskillful hands, this is a terrible evil. There are many different professions in technology.
It is one thing to process materials. You need to know everything about the properties of this material. You need to be able to use the right tools. Metals are processed by turners, drillers, millers. Carpenters and carpenters work the tree. They make skin -- tanners. Spinners make threads from cotton, wool and silk. Weavers are made from these threads of fabric. And all these professions are connected with technology!
And how many professions where you have to collect something useful from ready-made parts! It's something a lot of kids like. Very crumbs collect pyramids from colored rings. Older kids play constructors. Children like to collect pictures from colored pieces. Adult installers assemble from huge parts houses and bridges. Help them huge tower cranes and other machines. The watchmaker sits in a cozy chair and assembles a very precise mechanism from tiny parts - the clock. Collectors assemble cars, tractors and machines.
And work in transportation? There are so many professions here that you cannot count everything. Drivers, tractor drivers, car drivers, pilots, captains transport people from place to place by road, by air and by water. And there are also such mobile machines as excavators, bulldozers and combine harvesters! Each such machine should be well known so that it is useful and does not cause harm.
What if one of these cars fails? Who will treat her? Doctor? Veterinarian? Of course not! There are repairmen and adjusters for this.
And modern electronics, isn’t that interesting? Who doesn’t dream of flying a computer or even a spaceship? Have you tried a TV or radio already? Who repaired this technique after you? You don't know?
There is also a very complex and interesting technique for scientific work. Microscope, for example. You can even see one molecule in it. Or a telescope. In it you can see the most distant star.
But let's leave the technique alone. All children love to dream, listen to fairy tales, draw everything in the world. There are many adult professions where it is not immediately clear what a person is doing. Sitting at his desk. Nearby is a piece of paper and a pencil. No animals, no plants, no machines, no other people. The man is busy. It works, as they say, in the sweat of the face. What is he doing? What kind of profession is sitting at the table? Maybe he's a writer, maybe he's an accountant or a cryptographer. You can't tell by sight!
There are many such professions. In order to argue, you need a very precise plan. And a very accurate calculation. Nowadays, special machines – computers – help people make plans and make calculations. They are even called the “artificial brain.” Programmers help manage these machines.
There are many professions – thousands!
