Boys admire so called „hero“ professions such as pilots, firemens, astronauts. Girls dream about actresses, model or singers. But as they get older become more and more realistic.

Some children look up to their parents and want fo follow in their footsteps. But some parents have spent their whole lives to their own career. It may have a negative influence on their offsprings.

Those applicants who are lucky, get the job and become employees of a company or firm. The employee and employer sign a work contract.
