As a rule, young people should study five years at universities or
institutes to become specialists. If you want a bachelor’s degree, you
have to study four years. But medical student study six years. As your
final exams have been passed, you get a diploma of a qualified
specialist. Some students keep studying and enter post-graduate
courses to follow an academic career. Some university graduates take
up teaching and return to their Alma Mater as tutors.
So, choosing a career and then getting a job are two things any
person does in his lifetime. If we don't think about the future, we won't
have the one.
