Tymur,
I think studies are the MOST IMPORTANT thing to focus on! I would be interested it what studies you like.
I'm almost 76 years old now but remember well my classes in secondary school and college. My favorites were the mathematics and science courses. (My least favorite were the language classes, although I did enjoy three years of spoken Spanish language study.) Unlike in the US, some of my friends in Europe are fluent in several languages - one girl in Italy speaks and writes seven languages!
When younger I was fortunate to have access to a good library and read science books on every subject - physics, chemistry, astronomy, geology, and biology (especially animal science), a bit of medicine and psychology. All this helped a great deal when I worked at a major US science laboratory - it let me communicate effectively with a groups in a wide variety of fields and devise ideas to help them with problems and acquire funding. I had the best job in the world!
But I retired about 20 years ago. I now play on the farm with horses, llamas, and peacocks. I built a shop for woodturning, woodworking, metalworking and welding. Outside I have big equipment to dig in the dirt, move rocks, and work with trees and logs.
I love to teach woodturning and do demonstrations in woodturning clubs! If you ever find yourself visiting the US, we live in Tennessee in the south east - perhaps you could come visit sometime! Maybe we could work on some turning and trade ideas and stories! Maybe introduce you the Ukrainian parents of my friend - her father is a scientist.
OH, the friend of Ukrainian parents got interested in woodturning at my shop! She and another friend would come to the farm for the live animals and to work with some smaller animals I saved in a freezer for them to dissect and study.
One day I asked them if they would like to try a lesson in woodturning. Yes!! Neither had seen a lathe before. We did a morning lesson on spindle turning, starting with the skew chisel, and they both make things to take home. In the afternoon I showed them how to turn a bowl. They both made small practice bowls then turned bowls from black cherry wood to take home! The other girl is now in graduate school working on her Doctorate degree in pathology. The girl who is now a veterinarian had lessons in my shop for over a year while working in vet clinics and animal rescue organizations, then later when finishing school. A friend gave her a lathe, I provided tools and wood, and about four years ago moved all of her things to a house near where she works! A success story!
In the US, there are notable female woodturners but there are usually more male turners. Many of the guys in the clubs I've attended are older and retired from work but there are sometimes new younger people attend!!
