The most relevant specialties The most prestigious professions Specialties that can be obtained after graduation

Choosing a profession is a difficult task that can affect your entire future life path. To somehow make it easier, I offer you a list of the highest paid and most in-demand professions. You will find out who earns the most, who is worth studying for in the coming years and what professions will be needed, even if a crisis suddenly breaks out in 2019.

The highest paid professions in Russia

In mid-2018, the hh.ru portal did a study on which professions in Russia are now the most paid. The result is predictable:

Programmers and system administrators. In Moscow, the average salary for these professions is 100-110 thousand rubles, in St. Petersburg - 80 thousand rubles, and in the regions - 60-70 thousand rubles;

Business Development Managers. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the average salary in the profession is 70-80 thousand rubles, and in the regions - 60-70.

Internal auditors. Those who work on business processes within an organization. In Moscow, they receive up to 110 thousand rubles, in St. Petersburg on average - 90 thousand rubles, and in the regions - about 40.

Real estate agents. The official salary is small, even in Moscow. But with commissions, about 100 thousand rubles come out in the capital and St. Petersburg, 40-50 - in the regions.

Marketing and advertising specialists. Marketers can receive up to 110 thousand rubles in the capital. In St. Petersburg, a little less - 70-80 thousand rubles. In the regions they are valued much less - 30-40 thousand.

lawyers and economists. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, representatives of these professions can count on a salary of up to 100 thousand rubles, and in the regions - 30-40 thousand.

The Ministry of Education and Science reports that the number of vacancies in the field of economics and jurisprudence is declining every year - a reason to think for those who want to be a lawyer and economist.

These are the most profitable professions in the country. Based on the current trend in the development of large and medium-sized companies, there is no reason to believe that the situation will change dramatically in the next 10-15 years. Except that some professions will arise and become more relevant in the future.

The lowest-income occupations included cleaners, waiters, loaders, storekeepers and salesmen. Their salary is up to 40 thousand rubles, regardless of the region.

10 most in-demand professions in the coming years

Let's talk about the most promising professions in 2019-2021. The main criteria will be:

Income level.

Difficulty of learning.

Number of vacancies.

It turns out the following list of professions.

1. Sellers. It is they who open our TOP of the most demanded professions. I don't mean sellers in Pyaterochka or Magnit near your house. Now the profession of a seller of goods and services is called "sales manager". This is a person who sits in an office and sells to individuals or legal entities goods/services.

This is the most in-demand profession Russian market. About 200,000 vacancies, one way or another related to sales, are published across the country every month.

How much you can earn: the average level of wages in the country is actively growing. For the year rose from 35 to 45 thousand rubles. And that only counts as salary. There are many more awards.

How long will it take to study: with training in sales everything is very difficult. You can learn basic things, work with clients and stress resistance in a few months. But it is much more difficult to professionally master all sales techniques and learn how to talk to people correctly. Growth time from beginner to intermediate specialist is six months. To a real pro - 3-5 years of active development and work on oneself.

In the near future, the profession of a salesperson will still be relevant. It is one of the most undervalued professions among both employers and employees.

Gradually Russian business comes to what is impossible to get good seller for little money. Anyone who really knows how to do something has to pay dearly.

2. Accountants. No matter how trite it may sound, but with the development of business, the need for good accountants is growing. Who will be able to correctly carry out all operations, agree with banks that there is no need to block accounts, and explain to them that there is no black bookkeeping in the company.

Immediately after sales, in terms of the number of vacancies published in all sources, accountants are in second place. This is due to the fact that many people want to get remote accountants in a small company.

How much you can earn: the average salary in the country is 50,000 rubles. A novice specialist in the regions receives 20-25 thousand rubles a month. A professional who has worked in an organization for several years - 40-45 thousand in the worst case scenario.

How long will it take to study: despite the complexity of the profession, to learn accounting enterprises (in a separate direction) can be in a few months on any courses.

In the near future, the profession will remain just as popular. Recently, many companies are opening and working via the Internet, and this is an opportunity to work from home with any company.

3. Production engineer. According to the head of Rostrud, this is the most demanded profession in Russia at the moment. The market lacks qualified personnel.

Compared to the two previous professions, the dynamics of salaries in the profession of process engineer is plus or minus stable. This suggests that despite the crisis, enterprises are ready to pay their specialists the required amount.

How much you can earn: newcomers to the profession receive 20-40 thousand rubles, depending on the region and the specifics of the work. Immediately after training, it is difficult to count on a high salary. But a good specialist with experience has the right to count on a rate of 40-60 thousand rubles. The best specialists receive more than 80 thousand rubles, but the number of vacancies is minimal.

How long it will take to study: this is not a profession that you can really get in the courses. The best Moscow institutes have training courses, but they take at least 1 year. Better get higher education in this area for 3-4 years or secondary special in your region, and then - a qualification in a higher educational institution as you work.

In the near future, this profession will still be relevant in Russia simply because there is a shortage of qualified personnel in the country. It will take several more decades before this niche is completely filled.

4. Builders. The construction niche does not stand still, especially in Russia.

How much can you earn: average salary builders in Russia - 37 thousand rubles a month. Handymen receive 15-20 thousand rubles. Narrower specialties - from 40 and above.

The highest average wages for builders in the Magadan region are 140,000 rubles a month.

How long will it take to study: Most construction workers received a secondary specialized education. If you leave after the 9th grade and go to a technical school, then only 3-4 years of study - and you can work.

In the near future, the profession will remain relevant. And this applies to both civil engineers and ordinary, ordinary performers. The higher you climb career ladder in this niche, the higher your salary will be.

On average, the level of costs in the construction industry is gradually falling. This is due to a reduction in the number of jobs and the transition of laborers and unskilled specialists to construction sites.

5. Sphere of IT-technologies. IT cannot be ignored. Simply because all professions in this area are in great demand. Programmers, content creation and promotion managers, designers, etc. - the labor market in this area is really huge.

How much you can earn: the range of salaries in the niche is huge. True, it starts with a minimum of 30 thousand rubles and ends with 200 thousand, but this is far from the limit. VIP-specialists who can not only write code, but also supervise the work from creation to sale of the product are highly valued.

How long you have to study: this is a moot point. The sphere requires both professional training at the university and continuous improvement of skills. 5-10 years is a normal time to get to a high level. It is because of the long training that this industry is only in 5th place.

In the near future, this area will not go anywhere. It is actively developing. New tasks appear in business, new programs are needed for them, industries related to IT are being created. Everything is developing rapidly, and high technology is at the forefront. The most popular Internet professions are concentrated in the IT field, allowing you to work and earn money without leaving your home.

One of the main advantages in IT is being in demand abroad. Designers, programmers, testers, developers and similar professions are needed abroad. And there is even an opportunity to work from Russia in the Western market. Large companies willingly go towards specialists.

6. Translators. Only taking into account the fact that the Asian market is now being actively developed, and companies need employees who know not only banal English, but also Chinese.

How much you can earn: a novice translator, even if he works not in a company, but on a freelance basis, can earn up to 40,000 rubles. An experienced translator who knows not only English and Western European languages can earn up to 80,000 rubles in salary and at least half of the salary as part-time jobs.

How long it will take to learn: languages can be learned on your own, it's true. But it is better to work with experts. Either at a university, or with tutors and native speakers. The first method will require 4-5 years of training, and the second one will require huge financial investments.

In the near future, the profession of a translator will remain relevant. The expansion of production and the globalization of the world suggests that language barriers in the future will only interfere with business and economic relations.

The main reason for the relevance of the profession is that there are really few good marketers. And the market is not yet ready to provide more opportunities for development in the profession.

How much you can earn: the average salary of a marketer in the regions is 40-50 thousand rubles. In Moscow, this figure is 2 times higher. And there is a real hunt for experienced specialists. I know that the best specialist in the settings niche advertising campaigns paid 100,000 rubles for an hour consultation.

How long does it take to learn: Marketers in general are one such profession that doesn’t necessarily require professional training. Simply because the university will not give as much knowledge as you can get later, in the course of studying the material and profession. There are many courses that allow you to enter the profession in a couple of months. And it will take 4-5 years to improve and reach a good level.

In the near future, the profession will remain relevant. New companies will be opened all the time, and they will need employees who can promote goods and services.

8. Electronics repair. The profession is more about private business.

How much you can earn: repairing electrical equipment is an expensive pleasure. Private business brings about 30-40 thousand rubles in the regions, and 3-4 times more in the capital.

How long it will take to learn: you can learn and fill your hand on your own. The main advantage of learning to repair is that there are a huge number of guides on the Internet for self-repairing devices. And if the hands grow from the right place, this is a matter of a couple of months and a couple of ruined devices.

In the near future, this profession will remain relevant. As a type of private business, the repair of equipment will do just fine if you approach the issue correctly.

9. Electrician. This profession looks strange on our list, but good electricians make good money and are in demand both on industrial enterprises as well as in private business.

How much you can earn: the average salary of an electrician is 40,000 rubles. At the same time, the salary depends on the category and qualifications. Additionally, you can always earn yourself, on private orders.

How long will it take to study: This profession requires special training and education. Secondary special, immediately after the 9th grade - and already at the age of 20-21 you can comprehend the profession.

In the near future, this profession will still be relevant. As long as there is electricity, people who know how to work with it will be needed.

10. SMM specialists. This is a banal and pop profession of 2019. There are few good specialists, training materials that really give real knowledge are even fewer. Therefore, I consider this profession relevant, despite the active PR throughout the Russian Internet.

How much you can earn: the range of salaries in SMM is very large. Beginners receive from 1 to 10 thousand rubles per month of work with one company. Specialists receive up to 100 thousand rubles for the same amount of work.

How long it will take to study: SMM specialists study in a few months, they fill their hands in about the same amount.

In the near future, this area will be filled with young professionals. But there will be few qualified personnel on the market. Although the number of vacancies is declining, VIP employees who remain among the best are still valued.

The most demanded professions in Russia for men

Now let's talk about the most sought-after professions exclusively for men (women can also, but this is not according to the canon). Just a short list:

Blacksmith.

Joiner.

Plumber.

Crane operator.

Beekeeper.

These, at first glance, are not the highest paid professions. But their main advantage is that they will remain in demand in any economic situation, if you approach things wisely.

The most demanded professions for women

And now let's also talk about the activities of women:

Cosmetologist.

Economist (most often an accountant).

Teacher.

Personal nanny.

HR specialist.

These are not the highest paid professions, but you can always find a job and build a personal business.

How to choose a profession

There are two interesting trends in the Russian labor market:

There are too many average specialists, but very few professionals.

The number of workers is significantly reduced.

From this I venture to draw two simple conclusions:

Most profitable professions in Russia will remain at their level without significant changes. Salaries for mid-level specialists will gradually decrease, but the salaries of top specialists, on the contrary, will increase. There will be a big hunt for VIP employees (the best in their niche).
Salaries for working specialties requiring professional training (such as a turner, welder) will gradually increase. There is a shortage of qualified personnel, this will be especially noticeable if the economy changes course in the direction of development own production(which is highly likely to happen in the next 7-10 years).

I strongly advise against choosing a profession based solely on the level of income in a niche. Simply because it will be at the same level for several years, and inflation will gradually reduce real wages. If you do not plan to become a top specialist in the field of programming, marketing, law or economics, then it is better not to go into these professions.

Every year, the highest paid professions in the country change, so many follow the market trends with interest. This information is usually needed by statistics and applicants who decide where to go to study.

In recent years, there has been a shortage of working specialties in the country, so for the next few years they will be in demand. If the situation does not change during the year, then the salaries of engineers, builders, designers, mechanics and other working specialties may increase significantly. Then they will be included in the list of the most highly paid professions in the country.

Rating of professions in Russia by salary

In 2019, the TOP 10 highest paid professions in Russia have not changed much. It still includes the heads of large corporations and their advisers, as well as specialists in certain narrow areas.

Profession	Pay per month	What to do
Top managers	900 000	Negotiating, determining the company's development strategy, solving fundamental issues about the management of the company
Federal level officials	250 000	Making decisions on the development of a particular area, passing laws, working with the population, developing an accountable area, writing reports on the work done
auditors	170 000	Carrying out external and internal audit of the company for compliance with the requirements of the current legislation
civil aviation pilots	150 000	Transportation of passengers using air transport
IT specialists	125 000	Software development, network administration within the company, fixing errors in programs, writing applications for various operating systems
Chief Accountant	100 000	Doing financial reporting, performing work with foreign currency accounts, making payments, accruing wages employees
genetics	80 000	Conducting medical tests, conducting research activities
Doctors of narrow specialties	65 000	Identification of diseases and the appointment of an effective treatment plan
Teachers at universities	60 000	Drafting curriculum, conducting term papers and theses, conducting lectures and seminars, participating in research activities
Builders, engineers, designers	40 000	Design and construction of communications, construction of buildings

This is the TOP of the highest paid professions in Russia today. For many, it may be surprising that lawyers, traders and many banking industry specialists did not make it into the table. Now there is a downward trend in their income, as the number of employees in these areas exceeds the needs of existing companies.

It is worth noting that the highest paid professions for girls are an auditor and Chief Accountant. According to statistics, about 90% of jobs in these areas are occupied by women.

The most in-demand professions in 2019

It is worth considering the most popular specialties in Russia in order to understand where it is easiest to get a job. They are not always considered the highest paid. But getting a job here is much easier. most vacancies open. All data has been taken.

heavy industry

Today, heavy industry enterprises are experiencing a shortage of personnel, so finding a job in this area is not difficult. Here the average salary is 32,000 rubles. In the northern regions, it can reach up to 50,000 rubles. Most often required:

welders;
locksmiths;
turners;
repairmen;
adjusters.

Depending on the enterprise, many additionally receive a VMI policy and other non-material benefits, which makes working in this area quite attractive.

To date, this industry employs a little more than 4.1 million people, which is 6% of the total number of economically active residents of the country. The narrower the specialty, the more highly paid it is. Specialists are especially valued at military and shipbuilding enterprises.

The sphere of education

The highest paid professions in Russia in 2019 in this industry are university teachers. They earn up to 50,000 rubles. The salary is made up of the level of workload, so everyone decides for himself what income he needs.

Finding a job in this field is not difficult. Here you always need:

teachers in schools;
teachers in universities and secondary technical institutions;
teachers in kindergartens.

The average salary in the country is 30,500 rubles. Today, over 4.4 million people work in various educational institutions, which is about 7% of the total working population of Russia.

Control

Companies always need managers of any link, so they are involved in all areas of the economy. They are responsible for the implementation analytical work, reporting and executing plans. The average salary is 35 tr.

Here, according to Rosstat, a little more than 4.6 million people or 7% of the total number of able-bodied Russians work.

Leaders

These specialists must have special skills and know how to properly negotiate with counterparties. They also decide on the strategic and tactical development of the organization. For their work, they receive about 65,000 rubles.

On the leadership positions almost 5 million people work, which is almost 8% of the total working-age population of the Russian Federation.

Sphere of trade

Sellers are needed to sell the goods and services produced. In most cases, no special training is required to master this profession. But then the salary is over 25 tr. it will be hard to get. Performing a number of additional functions can increase it to 40 tr. These functions include the preparation of reports and the preparation of an individual sales plan.

More than 5.6 million people sell goods and services. This is about 9% of the total number of workers. However, this specialty cannot be called highly paid.

Logistics

Logistics is one of the most demanded and highly paid professions in the country. There is a strong shortage of qualified specialists, so firms are willing to overpay employees. The average salary is 32 tr, but in some cases, an employee's income can reach up to 60 tr.

This area employs 7 million people or 10% in percentage terms.

New professions in 2019

New professions in the highest paid in Russia were:

engineer;
IT specialist;
roboticist;
architect;
design engineer;
web designer;
agricultural engineer.

Today, there is a shortage of working professions in the country, so in the coming years, it is these specialists who will receive higher salary. There are quite a lot of managers, salespeople and lawyers, so their average income is declining every year.

In 2019 TOP specialties are highly paid. But quantity open vacancies actively reduced. Therefore, there is a high risk of being left without work in an attempt to master one of these highly paid specialties.

Gender and regional differences

Traditionally, the TOP-10 highest paid professions are compiled taking into account income throughout Russia. However, there are differences in the income level of the population by region. The highest salaries are received by residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg. The northern regions can also compete with them with their income levels.

Comparison of average salaries of men and women.

They began to prepare students for non-core specialties and dubious programs.

Due to the low quality of education and the excess of supply over demand, graduates had to retrain and look for other jobs. Some mastered working specialties, others went into the service sector.

Let's take a look at what happened in 2017

In September last year, the Ministry of Labor named the most demanded specialists in the labor market. The ministry also noted the demand for both nurses (despite the introduction of automation systems) and skilled workers: electricians, welders, turners. According to the department, entrepreneurs, managers and document specialists more often than others remain unemployed in Russia.

The Ministry of Labor also provided a list of highly paid professions based on vacancies that appeared in the first half of the year.

But what awaited young professionals in the labor market, according to Career.ru.

Customer Service Operator - Leading Position for Young Professionals for 2017

But when choosing a specialty, it is important to think ahead.

Let's look into the future: what awaits us after 2020

Recruitment agency "Unity" interviewed Russian companies and compiled a list of professions that will be in demand in 2021. The top 5 included the following specialties:

Food production technologist.

Mobile application architect.

Biochemist.

Financial analyst.

Strategist in the field of search and personnel management.

Also, according to respondents, companies will continue to look for Big Data specialists, Java and Python developers, and mobile application designers.

Well-known companies in the labor market also conduct a survey. According to the recruiting company Hays: more than half of those surveyed believe that their profession will change dramatically in 10 years and will require new skills.

The Moscow School of Management Skolkovo and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives have compiled a list of "dying" professions. The list includes the following specialties:

notary, librarian, copywriter;

tester, system administrator;

bank teller, analyst;

secretary, logistician;

driver, dispatcher, journalist.

Also, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo created the Atlas of New Professions. It includes over 100 new specialties, most of which will appear only after 2020. Developers identify 5 future trends: automation, globalization, increasing complexity of control systems, increased competition and environmental requirements.

However, while universities do not teach IT geneticists, space tourism managers and medical robot operators, you should pay attention to the list of professions adopted by the Government of the Russian Federation.

What profession should I choose?

No one will make the choice for you: you need to make an informed decision, taking into account forecasts, market conditions and, of course, your abilities.

What to do:

Take a career guidance test and consult with a specialist.
Study the list of professions approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, and "Atlas".
Monitor vacancies: note the demanded requirements for applicants, the level of wages.
Listen to expert forecasts and monitor the labor market. For example, HeadHunter periodically publishes reports on specific regions and industries. An example is on the site hh.ru.

P.S. We do not live in the USSR: it is unlikely that you will be able to study, then get a job in one place and work all your life. You must always keep your finger on the pulse.

More recently, an interesting vacancy has appeared on the labor market - a Pokemon trainer. The requirements for a potential employee are not great: enthusiasm and sociability, understanding of the game, the ability to establish communication with key gamers. The main category of people who are offered this vacancy are students who are versed in games of this kind.

There is no university that would teach such a specialty as a Pokemon trainer. The parents of the younger generation do not know anything about it, and not all young people understand what the essence of this game is. What will the professions of the near future look like? What will be in demand and what will lose its popularity? What other amazing jobs are coming up soon?

In my opinion, professions related to Internet activities will not lose popularity and demand: marketers, social networks, programming and, of course, copywriting, which I teach beginners on blog pages. But.

Let's ask the experts...

In order to understand in what area of human life new specialties will appear and what will become a guide for the younger generation in choosing a future profession, it is necessary to listen to the opinion of modern experts who share their thoughts on what kind of professions will become more popular in the next five years.

Anastasia Khodyreva, Investpoint Junior Analytical Expert

They will explain that in the future for the next few years, it is worth talking not about professions in demand, but about basic professional skills that will be valued by any employer. Among them, she highlights the following skills, brought to automatism:

flexibility of mind in solving any tasks;
negotiating with the achievement of the set goal;
customer focus;
the formation of one's opinion and the ability to justify it;
fruitful cooperation with people;
covert management of people;
creativity, creativity, initiative;
possession of critical thinking;
problem solving that involves complexity and multilevelness.

CEO of the Wowworks.ru crowdsourcing platform Sergei Dyadichenko

Clarifies that the vacancy "pokemon trainer" cannot be considered a profession in the full sense of the word, it's just a very fashionable "trick" of marketing. This is fashion, trend, augmented reality. The world of virtual games is evolving. And those who can develop them, maintain them and teach how to use them, through modern gadgets, will have employment. And to determine the specialties in demand, it is enough to look at the list of the Ministry of Labor, 80% of which are related to high technologies.

One of the modern specialties is mechatronics - a person who can maintain, adjust and repair high-precision mechanisms such as industrial robots. Also now in demand are professions based on 3D technologies. Technician servicing robotic production at large enterprises is also gaining popularity.

Head of big data processing department at Technoserv Evgeny Linnik

He expresses his opinion on the issue of demanded professions like this - the future belongs to robotics, which includes the software part (the ability of machine vision and artificial intelligence) and the outer shell of the equipment. Just as the auto industry has its own infrastructure, so too will the robotics industry. Therefore, the young working generation should turn their attention to this area.

Futurologist Anikin Alexey

He believes that future professions will not be radically different from the present - all the same programmers, marketers, economists, engineers, doctors and lawyers will be in demand, among which there are few truly qualified specialists.

To meet the trend of modernity, they need to master additional skills of interacting with technologies of the cognitive and informational level. Professionals whose popularity will grow:

crypto economist,
virtual office lawyer,
a doctor who understands the relationship between organic and artificial,
robotics engineer,
gerontologist and molecular biologist.

The views of experts differ, but they are united by the fact that any specialty of today's labor market is bound to change due to the rapid development high technology. A specialist who does not consider it necessary to “keep up” with modernity will lose demand for his work, and it will be difficult for him to provide services.

Demanded professions of the present

Once popular in the Soviet Union, the concept of “state order for professions” is being revived again. What does it mean? Firstly, a group of specialties is compiled for which highly qualified trained personnel are needed at the government level. Secondly, such an “order” is sent to the state universities of the country.

The scheme is simple, but so far it does not work well enough, because recently the number of private educational institutions who are not subject to the state order, but decide on their own what specialties to “produce”. The second reason for the inefficiency of the scheme lies in the absence of applicants who do not want to be engineers and teachers, so necessary for the country, because the deplorable state of these industries is known to them.

Speaking about professions in demand now, you can look at the issue raised from two positions: government order data and research data. Today, most young people want to be public relations specialists or international relations, economists, lawyers or managers. But there are many young people with such an education, and to find Good work quickly and easily does not work.

When examining the order of the state for specialties, it is worth highlighting the following professions in demand today:

Profession	Explanation
Family psychologist	The fashion for a specialist of this kind came from the West and is rapidly developing in Russia.
Ecologist	Global trends have become the reason for the popularity of this profession, the essence of which is to minimize the toxic industrial impact that violates the environment.
Marketer	Ways to implement the whole variety of goods on the market. The field of marketing lacks specialists because the leading educational institutions of the country this direction was developed relatively recently.
Advertising Specialist	To master this profession, a diploma will not be enough. Must have creative thinking and purposefulness.
Service industry worker	The list of professions in this area is limitless: a hairdresser, masseur, tutor, real estate agent ... The service is actively developing, which determines its popularity.
Nanotechnology Specialist	Only a small number of universities provide vocational training personnel in this innovative area. The direction is actively developing.
IT specialist	There is a catastrophic shortage of people who have dedicated themselves to this profession, because our education system is not equipped with the latest fashionable IT-technologies for training, but uses old programs. As a result, many self-taught specialists appeared among specialists.
Engineer	No development is possible without an engineering corps.
Medic	There is a shortage of sanitary workers and nurses, because small staff, unlike other specialists in health institutions and hospitals, receive too little financial reward for their work.
School teacher	The pedagogical sphere is experiencing significant desolation, along with the fact that schools continue to need qualified teachers. The government, through one-time financial subsidies, is doing everything possible to raise the profession to the proper level, but so far there have been no significant changes.
Online specialist	So employers save money on buying office equipment and renting space. An employee, and a business is comfortably located on the Internet. There is no binding to the city, which greatly facilitates the search for specialists.

On the last point, it is worth adding that there are popular ones among Internet professions. This is a PR manager, technical translator, mobile application developer, programmer, architect, visualizer, interior designer and WEB designer, . There is no high competition among online professions, so any person who needs a job has a great opportunity to master one of these specialties, find in as soon as possible work to their liking, do it while sitting at home, while receiving a decent salary.

In this regard, the United States has stepped far ahead of Russia. According to statistics, only 1% of compatriots work remotely, when in America the number of people working online reaches 20%.

Demanded professions for the next five years

Today's market is a dynamic machine of trade, so it is definitely impossible to accurately predict which professions will be popular and which will not. But if you look at the professional training of personnel in universities, spending long time, the market can be called static. The country will continue to need jobs such as construction workers, service providers, advertising managers and engineers.

With 100% certainty, it can be noted that construction will be especially useful in the coming years, because the demographic situation in the country is improving, which implies in a very short time the need to improve living conditions for the younger generation. The growing business also increases the demand for construction specialties, because it is necessary to build more and more commercial real estate: premises for the production of goods, areas for trade, barns, business centers.

However, intellectual work takes leadership position on demand. This is explained by the fact that the Russian Federation passed the stage of development of the industry and moved to the information stage. The service sector will also remain in demand. These are eternal professions - a locksmith, a waiter, a bartender ... The demand for employees in this area is only increasing. Highly professional knowledge is not required, and the necessary skill is formed with experience.

Popular exotic professions of our country

Exotic professions are those that are not familiar to the average man in the street, they are original and not even common. Some of them are in constant demand. It is worth noting the following:

beef carcass specialist
cattle slaughterer,
offshore drilling rig captain,
sports equipment and footwear tester,
boogie woogie trainer.

These employers vacancies offer potential employees decent wages and a social package akin to the state. The profession is not ordinary, and the working conditions are standard. Most Russian exotic professions have become popular at the expense of foreign companies.

The most popular and desired profession

In large numbers foreign countries concepts such as "demand" and "high wages" go hand in hand. If the profession is in demand, then it is paid adequately. In Russia, these concepts are “not friends” with each other. A vivid example of this is the teaching profession, which is in demand, but poorly paid. The diametrical opposite is observed among top managers - wages are high, and the demand for employees is not great. Therefore, it would be a mistake to unambiguously identify the most required professions in Russia.

The ratio of the above concepts is more or less proportional for programmers and IT-technologists. Their popularity is associated with the global development of all industries - in order to modernize equipment, it is necessary to write software for it and maintain it in the future. Previously, such positions were occupied only by men, now most of the workers are women.

Professions that are losing their relevance

Professions that have already filled the market with personnel for a single year in advance will lose their popularity, because a large number of educational institutions have produced them in sufficient quantities and continue to train them. These are office workers, managers, economists and lawyers. And here it seems absurd that with an increase in business turnover, the demand for quantity decreases. office workers. This is due to new technologies that are gradually replacing human resource, optimizing the work of large organizations.

Journalism (in print) and radio are also in danger of disappearing. The first loses its function as a source of information, and the second, in order to somehow stay afloat, passes into the form of entertainment broadcasting. Even the media is inferior to television. It, in turn, ranks second after the Internet. This is a source of information that does not lose its relevance. The leading position of the Internet is also due to the fact that it does not require a diploma of a journalist in order to share information on the network at a professional level.

What is the result?

Previously, parents taught their children to choose a profession that they like. And young people had the opportunity to enter any educational institution because they were all free. The specialists who later emerged from their walls were truly highly qualified. They loved the work they did and tried to do their work even better.

With the advent of paid higher education and the inability of many parents to pay for it, many people have appeared who are not in their professions. And even those who can afford to study abroad choose future profession by prestige and level of remuneration, and not by desire.

However, against this background, it is necessary to choose what you like to do, and not what you have to. A person who loves his job, but receives little financial reward for it, will always find a way to monetize his activities even more, because he loves what he does. I wrote how you can make money on your hobby.

A teacher, for example, in addition to tutoring, can help students online, via Skype video calls. The number of students in this case is not limited only to their hometown, the Internet skillfully erases all the geographical boundaries of our country, allows you to keep up with the times and earn more from your favorite business.

Dear friends, what do you think is the most demanded profession today?

While we are mastering the professions of lawyers, economists, locksmiths and cooks Elon Musk dreams of flying to Mars, 3D printers are beginning to print human organs, and the UK is investing millions of pounds in training assistants and helpers for robots. Be prepared for the fact that in the near future machines will take up to 75% of jobs. Perhaps the robotics boom in Russia will happen a little later, but it will definitely happen. Let's talk about the professions of the future - new and promising. Because it is worth thinking about them now.

In what areas will robots not replace humans?

Robotics is advancing faster than experts thought. In Japan, machines no longer only perform ordinary operations in factories, cook and do house cleaning - they dance well, play chess, and most importantly, they study. It is trained artificial intelligence that becomes the main competitor of man in the struggle for workplace. Why would an employer hire a CNC operator if the machine does not need to be paid a salary and there is no need to supervise it - robots will hardly try to steal anything, hardly be negligent.

As part of a lecture on human capital after the 4th industrial revolution, Christopher Pissarides (Nobel laureate in economics) identified only 6 industries in which robots cannot completely replace humans. At least in the next 20-30 years. This:

The medicine.
Education.
Real estate.
The household.
Hospitality.
Personal services.

With medicine, education and real estate, everything is clear. Household refers not only to household chores, but also planning family budget, making decisions when creating the comfort of an apartment or house, choosing the best place to live, and so on. Hospitality is understood as hotel, restaurant and tourism management, as well as the entertainment industry.

Personal services include, for example, the services of a psychologist, a nanny, a nurse and other professionals that robots cannot replace for practical and ethical reasons. This also includes several areas, which in part are also professions. A prime example is the clergy. It is difficult to imagine a robot in the person of a church minister, unless it will be a separate new cult, a new religion.

It is also the sphere of art - presumably the value of human labor will not disappear here and, on the contrary, will continue to grow.

Professions of the future: TOP-20 specialties

Among the assumptions of the futurists, there are many specialties that may seem like a utopia or outright nonsense. When forecasting, it is especially important to rely on trends in science. If we know that robotics and IT are rapidly developing, then the position of a lawyer in robotics no longer looks so unrealistic. Let us draw your attention to the list of professions published by American, European and Russian researchers.

New professions of the future - TOP-10 Microsoft and The Future Laboratory

virtual reality designer . Experts predict a significant growth in the VR device market. In the next 7-8 years, it should exceed $45 billion. Millions of people will spend most of their free time in virtual reality, which will be designed by the next generation of designers. They will create virtual offices for remote negotiations, museums, municipal institutions and much more.
Robotics Developers . Or robotics lawyers. They will act as intermediaries between man and artificial intelligence. The tasks of specialists will include the development ethical standards, according to which robots can exist among living people. The need for a profession is due to the possible appearance of "bad" machines that can intentionally harm people.
Virtual tour guides and digital commentators . Do you experience catharsis when you come into contact with works of art in museums, in art galleries? Experts believe that very soon virtual tours will replace up to 80% of the real premises of cultural objects. This is where digital commentators and guides who own VR technologies come in handy.
Biohackers . In fact, these are amateurs who conduct their own research in the field of molecular biology, using open data from the scientific community. It is assumed that biohackers will soon reach a new level and, in freelance mode, will be able to help scientists in finding ways to treat the most complex diseases.
Analysts of the Internet of Things . Appliances and electronics are increasingly equipped with their own software so that devices can communicate with each other. The Internet of Things (IoT) will require modernization in 5-8 years: in developed countries there will be demand for specialists capable of analyzing data and looking for, say, new methods for integrating household appliances into unified systems for smart homes.
space guide . Scientists say that by the beginning of the 2030s, space tourism will no longer be a rarity and will become quite affordable for wealthy people. In this regard, guides who will accompany travelers on flights to the stars will become in demand. And if on initial stage astronauts can become them, then in the future a specialty may appear even in ordinary universities.
Personal data curator . Neural interfaces that combine the human brain with a computer will become the most common in 3-4 years. We will be able to "record" memories, plans and thoughts, and distribute them in in social networks– share with friends and even strangers. The task of the personal data curator is to combine information into a common information flow and adapt it.
Ecosystem Restoration Specialist . Around 2030, the planet's resources may be seriously depleted due to a significant increase in population. We are talking not only about non-renewable oil, but also about animals and plants. In this situation, engineers will be required to restore environment. In particular, they will be able to "revive" extinct species of animals and plants using previously collected genetic material.
DC Power Supply Engineer . In the next 5-10 years, the transition to sustainable energy can be completed - solar and wind energy will be used as the main source of power throughout the planet. The only problem is the inability to operate the devices in cloudy and calm weather. Therefore, developers of constant power devices will become especially in demand.
Body designer . Bioengineering should make a breakthrough by the mid-2020s. In the future, a person will be able to easily change tissues and even organs. The possibilities of medicine and plastic surgery will help people become what they would like to see themselves. And body designers will be able to translate the desires of a particular person into layouts that will guide surgeons in the course of work.

Molecular Nutritionist . The “Larisa Dolina Diet” may not help, not only because of the anti-scientific basis, but also because of the individual characteristics of your body. In the near future, we will be able to lose weight at the molecular level - nutritionists will explore the individuality of our structure in great detail and will be able to create unique programs for losing weight, gaining or maintaining weight.
Online Doctor . A number of laws on online consultations have already been passed, so the profession does not seem futuristic, much less utopian. In 4-5 years, an online doctor will be able to replace most doctors who practice classic face-to-face patient care.
space tourism manager . If American researchers mark space guides, then Skolkovo focuses on specialists who will organize flights to the stars. Managers in this industry, according to forecasts, will be in demand in 15-20 years.

reenactors . Most iconic buildings, monuments of history and architecture, will soon become emergency. The task of the specialists in the restructuring of these objects is to create a project, according to which the building will cease to pose a danger and at the same time preserve the value of the monument.
3D printing designer . This profession will be especially in demand in construction, where 3D technologies are already widely used today. And if now only individual elements and building materials are printed, then in the future, with the help of special printers, it will be possible to create full-fledged buildings.
home robot developer . The specialty exists today and will continue to gain popularity in the future. Experts believe that by 2030, a person will be able to completely get rid of household chores by transferring all domestic work to machines.
