There are plenty of different professions. Some of my friends want to be doctors, others want to be lawyers or journalists, some want to become designers, IT workers. But I’ve always had a particular interest to advertising. So, I‘ve already decided what I want to do, when I grow up. I want to have a job where I can apply my creative skills. I‘d like to have a job of a creative director in an advertising agency. If you want to be a good art director, you need to be creative. The way advertisement motivates people to do something what they actually didn’t plan to do is fascinating. I also strongly believe that work of creative director can be compared with art. A good advertisement is really an art object. I strongly believe that if I am persistent and ambitious, everything becomes possible. However, I‘m absolutely convinced that without good grades at school the success in one’s future career is out of the question
Перевод «Моя будущая профессия»
Есть много разных профессий. Некоторые мои друзья хотят быть докторами, другие хотят стать адвокатами или журналистами., некоторые хотят стать дизайнерами и работниками ай-ти сферы. Но меня всегда интересовала реклама. Я уже решил, чем я хочу заниматься, когда повзрослею. Я бы хотел найти работу, которая требует творческой составляющей. Я бы хотел работать креативным директором в рекламном агентстве. Если ты хочешь быть хорошим арт-директором, нужно быть креативным благодаря которому реклама призывает потребителя сделать что-то, чего он, в сущности, не планировал сделать, действительно завораживает. Я так же верю, что работа креативного директора может сравниться с работой художника. Хороший рекламный ролик действительно является произведением искусства. Я верю, что если быть настойчивым и целеустремленным, все возможно. Однако я так же считаю, что без хороших оценок в школе успех в будущей карьере невозможен.
Крч разберешся!
