Jobs we’d like to do

Artur

I’ve always enjoyed playing computer games and I’d like to make them when I’m older. My cousin works in IT and makes cartoons and games so I asked him if I could go to work with him. I learned so much including how to draw a simple cartoon. But it was really tiring – all I wanted to do was relax at the end of the day, not play computer games!

Mika

I love sport the most and want to teach it when I’m older. I’m good at basketball, but I need to work harder in rugby lessons so I can teach different sports. After school, I want to go to college and study sports science. After that, I want to help with after-school clubs and lessons. My uncle is a teacher so I plan to ask him if I can give drinks to the players at the American football club next week.

Henri

I play a lot of musical instruments including the piano and guitar and would love to have a career in music. Last year, I received a prize for the best young musician in my town. I want to study music at university. I probably won’t get work as a musician after school so I might have to get a job in a café or restaurant first. My dream is to be paid to play in a group and travel around the world.
