What type of job do you want - Have you ever thought of a very delicate career? - Multiple Choice & Short Question for SSC English First Paper - English for Today

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions following it.            

What type of job do you want to have? Is it highly paid and high profile conventional job liked by most people? Yes, you can have it. It is the question of your choice and  important decisions that advance your life ahead. But have you ever thought of other types of jobs out there— cool, fun, exciting, even strange or weird jobs you never imagined to exist? What are they? Did you ever wonder who picks up the chewing gum left on a park bench or who assesses whether a piece of furniture is comfortable enough or who constructs glass eyeballs or who farms oysters in the middle of the ocean? These are all wacky, odd, unexpected, wild, crazy, unconventional, strange or just plain weird jobs and careers. They are not your traditional career choices, but somebody out there does all these things, gets paid for it, and enjoys life like anybody else.

There are hundreds of such jobs to take if you want to travel the less taken ways of life. You have to decide on several questions:

•           What companies will recruit/hire me?

•           Do I actually make a paycheck?

•           What type of education/diploma will I need?

•           Can I make a living doing this?

Your answers to these questions will help pave your career roadmap and help you decide if you are ready to take the challenge. Decide if you want a change. A lot of strange jobs also allow you to work part-time or freelance when it fits your schedule. This way you can get a taste of freedom, a secondary income, and build experience at the same time.

Do you have interests beyond writing memos and attending boring meetings? If so, you may wonder how you can find a strange job. Hobbies are a good place to start. What do you do for fun? Do you stuff animals, act like Charlie Chaplin, or make model cars? If you enjoy it, someone out there works in that field and is making money off your hobby. Maybe they are testing mountaineering equipment, developing fragrances, trying new brands of undergarments, or saving sea turtles. And they are getting paid good wages.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions following it.        

Have you ever thought of a very delicate career? Have you dreamt of a rosy environment full of colour and fragrance? How much would you love it if you were placed in a house full of flowers to deal all the day? I’m just going to give you some clues for a way of business, a job.

Yes. Daises, violets, tulips, marigolds, dahlias, bellies, jasmines, roses and all those things of beauty can also earn your livings if you handle them professionally. In fact, a florist’s career is rather a good choice as an unconventional job for many around the world. Wherever you see eye-catching floral displays, you actually see the professional performance of a floral designer. They are also known as florists and they create superb arrangements with flowers. Using both real and artificial flowers with other greeneries, florists prepare flower displays for a variety of events such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, marriage days, Valentine’s day, official receptions and even funerals. Every flower is with its distinct colour, design, significance and meaning which flower designers have to know well. There are conventions and significance associated with flower. We know that conventionally roses are meant for romance and anniversaries and tulips for birthdays.

Although formal education or diploma is not essential always, florists must have a good taste, good eye for colours, shapes and proportion. They have to have good sense for selecting flowers, ribbons and other accessories to make beautiful arrangements. Professional florists are knowledgeable about not only flowers but also designs and techniques. Most florists learn the trade mainly through apprenticeship in a previous flower farming job and also by attending formal floral schools and courses. However, a true passion for flowers and a bit of aesthetic sense are all that can make a florist’s career successful.

Flower designers earn fairly handsome money. But the bonus is that they belong to a fresh fun job. They work in flowers all day long in a nice atmosphere with fresh air, pleasant smells and vivid colours around. But there is a disadvantage too, if you are inclined to see so. Florists deal with flowers, but miss their honey.!

তুমি কি কখনো খুব সূক্ষ্ম একটা ক্যারিয়ারের কথা ভেবেছো? তুমি কি রঙ আর সুবাসে ভরা একটা গোলাপি পরিবেশের স্বপ্ন দেখেছো? যদি তোমাকে সারাদিন ফুলে ভরা একটা বাড়িতে কাজ করতে দেওয়া হয়, তাহলে তুমি কতটা খুশি হবে? আমি তোমাকে ব্যবসার একটা উপায়, একটা চাকরির কিছু সূত্র দিতে যাচ্ছি।

হ্যাঁ। ডেইজি, বেগুনি, টিউলিপ, গাঁদা, ডালিয়া, বেলি, জুঁই, গোলাপ এবং সৌন্দর্যের এই সমস্ত জিনিসগুলোও যদি তুমি পেশাদারভাবে পরিচালনা করো, তাহলে তোমার জীবিকা নির্বাহ করতে পারবে। আসলে, একজন ফুল বিক্রেতার ক্যারিয়ার বিশ্বজুড়ে অনেকের কাছে একটি অপ্রচলিত কাজ হিসেবে বেশ ভালো পছন্দ। যেখানেই তুমি আকর্ষণীয় ফুলের প্রদর্শনী দেখো, সেখানেই তুমি আসলে একজন ফুল ডিজাইনারের পেশাদারিত্ব দেখতে পাও। তারা ফুল বিক্রেতা হিসেবেও পরিচিত এবং তারা ফুল দিয়ে চমৎকার সাজসজ্জা তৈরি করে। অন্যান্য সবুজের সাথে আসল এবং কৃত্রিম উভয় ফুল ব্যবহার করে, ফুল বিক্রেতারা বিবাহ, জন্মদিন, বার্ষিকী, বিবাহ দিবস, ভালোবাসা দিবস, সরকারী অভ্যর্থনা এমনকি অন্ত্যেষ্টিক্রিয়ার মতো বিভিন্ন অনুষ্ঠানের জন্য ফুল বিক্রেতাদের ফুল বিক্রেতাদের জন্য ফুল বিক্রেতাদের প্রস্তুত করে। প্রতিটি ফুলের নিজস্ব রঙ, নকশা, তাৎপর্য এবং অর্থ থাকে যা ফুল ডিজাইনারদের ভালোভাবে জানা উচিত। ফুলের সাথে সম্পর্কিত কিছু রীতিনীতি এবং তাৎপর্য রয়েছে। আমরা জানি যে সাধারণত গোলাপ রোমান্স এবং বার্ষিকী এবং জন্মদিনের জন্য টিউলিপের জন্য তৈরি।

যদিও আনুষ্ঠানিক শিক্ষা বা ডিপ্লোমা সর্বদা অপরিহার্য নয়, ফুল বিক্রেতাদের অবশ্যই ভালো রুচি, রঙ, আকার এবং অনুপাতের প্রতি ভালো নজর থাকতে হবে। সুন্দর সাজসজ্জা করার জন্য তাদের ফুল, ফিতা এবং অন্যান্য আনুষাঙ্গিক নির্বাচন করার জন্য ভালো জ্ঞান থাকতে হবে। পেশাদার ফুল বিক্রেতারা কেবল ফুলই নয়, নকশা এবং কৌশল সম্পর্কেও জ্ঞানী। বেশিরভাগ ফুল বিক্রেতা মূলত পূর্ববর্তী ফুল চাষের চাকরিতে শিক্ষানবিশের মাধ্যমে এবং আনুষ্ঠানিক ফুলের স্কুল এবং কোর্সে যোগদানের মাধ্যমে এই ব্যবসা শেখেন। তবে, ফুলের প্রতি সত্যিকারের আগ্রহ এবং কিছুটা নান্দনিক বোধই একজন ফুল বিক্রেতার ক্যারিয়ারকে সফল করতে পারে।

ফুল ডিজাইনাররা বেশ ভালো অর্থ উপার্জন করেন। তবে বোনাস হল তারা একটি নতুন মজার চাকরির সাথে যুক্ত। তারা সারা দিন ফুলের উপর তাজা বাতাস, মনোরম গন্ধ এবং প্রাণবন্ত রঙের সুন্দর পরিবেশে কাজ করে। তবে যদি আপনি এটি দেখতে চান তবে একটি অসুবিধাও রয়েছে। ফুল বিক্রেতারা ফুলের সাথে ব্যবসা করেন, কিন্তু তাদের মধু মিস করেন!
