What are you going to do when you leave the secondary school? What are you going to choose as a career? Why?

Start like this:
After leaving my school I would like to study at one of the universities. I simply can’t tell you what I am going to study yet. Well, I have thought of becoming… (a teacher). My parents share/ do not share this idea, they want me to become… (a doctor). They may be right, because a… (doctor’s) work is more respected and acknowledged in a society. But I am not really persuaded by them saying that I would earn more money and I would have a better life as… (a doctor). This job is simply not for me. I would rather choose… (teaching) than… (medicine) as a career. I have no doubts about the poor financial prospects, but, you know, money is not everything. It is much more important for me to do something I really love.
