Let me introduce myself. My name is Irina Zubova. I'm a third-year student of Perm Financial Economic college, the brunch of Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.
I'd like to tell you about my future profession. Choosing a career is a very important matter. In my opinion, a job should be interesting and socially important. That is the reason why I have chosen the profession of a financier.
In Latin the word "finance" means "finishing", "ending" of money settlement between population and a state.
In the past the financiers considered to be very rich people, who had much money. Today the meaning of this word has changed.
Banking dictionary gives the following explanation: a "financier" is a specialist who manages big money operations on a legal base. He works in the field of markets, advertising, investments and real estate. His duties are to invest money successfully and make profit, to assess risks, to find the balance between income and possible risks.
The role of this profession for the society is very important. Finance in any country is a system of monetary relations leading to formation, distribution and use of money in the process of its turnover between economic entities. The financial system is the network of institutions through which firms, households and units of government get funds they need and put surplus funds to work.
A good financier must design different financial situations, analize them and come to a definite conclusion.
Young specialists who have just graduated from the universities and institutes can work as accountants, economist assistants, specialists of Planning departments at plants and factories.
It's possible to make a good career at the plant and to become Financial Director.
Financial Director is a specialist who plays three roles. He is an accountant, an economist and a financier at the same time.
A good Financial Director must be very competent in marketing, taxation, tax planning, accounting, insurance and real estate management.
Financial department is closely connected with Accounting, planning, marketing Departments, investment companies and banks.

In the conclusion I'd like to say, that I like to be involved in financial matters. My favourite subjects are accounting and financial management. In the future I plan to make a good career in financial field, to be successful, well-protected and self-confident. I think I have all necessary traits for my future development.There is a saying: "If you do not think about the future, you do not have one." I / m absolutely sure that is true.
