The English language can help you in many different ways. This is how important it is. It has helped me in a great way. It can help you in great ways, too. My knowledge of English has helped me achieve a very difficult feat. This is landing a job I really love doing even though it was improbable to do so.
When I first applied at university, I was undecided what course to take because I wanted to be an English or Science teacher while my parents and high school teachers wanted me to become an accountant. Having no definite decision yet and not being firm on my interest in becoming a teacher, I applied for an accounting bachelors course and was given admission. I also applied for scholarship from my country's government and was awarded the scholarship. I was not very interested in my course; in fact, I was more interested in reading materials in the English language and watching television programs using English language. I also loved writing in English. Fortunately, I was still able to complete my course as a scholar and have a degree as a passport to land a job.
After graduation, I worked in many accounting jobs. I easily quit jobs and looked for other jobs because I was not happy. Then, I started looking for other types of jobs in which I might be interested in and might be happy. I came across writing jobs and it revived my love for the English language, so I applied for the writing jobs. I was accepted as a bankruptcy news writer because of my accounting education and work background. I was happy with what I was doing as my job. This enabled me to crossover from accounting to writing or from auditing to editing.
