7 Chemist

Chemistry is a multifaceted science that can improve many areas of human life. For example, some chemists are trying to solve the energy problem and are looking for replacements for dwindling natural resources.

6 nanotechnology specialist

Science is constantly evolving and looking for solutions to various problems. Now the attention of scientists is attracted by nanoparticles. Science needs answers to questions about where and how to use them. Accordingly, she needs people who understand this.

5 Ecologist

Everyone knows that the ecology of our planet is in a not very good condition. Moreover, the ecological situation is constantly deteriorating. For example, more and more cars are produced. All this affects people's health. So the profession of an ecologist is not only in demand, but also very useful to mankind.

4 Doctor

Medicine is constantly improving. Some diseases that were fatal a couple of centuries ago are no longer a threat to humanity. However, there are still many diseases that people suffer from. For this reason, medical assistance is always in demand. So, if you decide on the choice of profession and want to benefit people, the specialty of a doctor may well suit you.

3 IT specialist

IT professionals are people who work in the field of information technology. For example, programmers, web designers, developers, moderators, network and database administrators, robotics or information security specialists, 3D animators - they are all IT specialists. The list of professions related to information technology is huge and constantly expanding. An IT specialist combines everyday life and creativity in his work. On the one hand, such boring activities as, for example, writing code for a program or website, on the other hand, is the creative part of the profession, which allows you to create new programs and applications.

It is very diverse and can include both travel arrangements and home delivery of groceries. So there is an opportunity to choose an interesting profession for yourself.

1 Engineer

The activity of an engineer is quite diverse and covers almost all processes of technical devices. Such a specialist is engaged in applied research, plans and designs, constructs and develops manufacturing technologies or structures. In addition, the engineer prepares technical documentation, participates in the production, commissioning and testing of the finished device. Such a specialist takes part in the use, maintenance, repair and disposal of the device. The engineer also controls the quality of the device.

Of course, the demand for a particular profession depends on where exactly the specialist lives. For example, in a small village it will be quite difficult to find a job for a person whose profession is related to nanotechnology.

Ten professions that are not dominated by inflation, sanctions and creative crises.

Interview: Maria Mikulina @MariaMikulina

Yes, difficult times have come. if in one word. The economic crisis, if two. Quite the edge, if in two pathetic words. and creative agencies are closing. Office plankton flocks to the street. Scooter prices skyrocketed, smoothie blood levels dropped. On Facebook, all you can hear is: “Reduced! Fired! There are no jobs!”

But this is not true. We intend to prove the opposite to you: there is work, there is. Real man's work. This is always in demand - and in well-fed times, and in a crisis. And this is not an unfounded statement. Meet ten men who know how to make money in any conditions. And take an example from them. Or at least just exclaim: “Wow, well done!”

Electrician

Where to study

I studied for several months at courses for professional retraining of personnel. In general, I graduated from the Institute of Culture and Arts. He worked at, was even a store director, a business coach. Some people like to work in the office, some don't. To me - no.

Where to get clients

I work for DES. Each of the electricians has either its own client base, or foremen with whom you constantly cooperate. The client base develops by itself: a good specialist is always needed.

Initial set

DEZs do not issue anything. However, a large amount of tools for working in the DEZ is not needed, because the work is mainly with the operation of equipment. The tool will cost literally two thousand rubles, if you know what you need.

How in general?

The working day starts at 9 am. Officially. But that doesn't mean you have to be there exactly by nine. You can safely drink coffee without fear of being late. The most important thing is that there are no complaints. Personally, I work in shifts, two after two. I don't like being tied down, I love relative freedom, and here I feel like I'm on a horse. Here you can see the end result. The light bulb does not light - you changed the light bulb, it caught fire. Immediately satisfaction from own work.

You can have from 70 to 100 thousand rubles a month. The question is where do you live, how do you work. In any case, there is always work and you can always earn a piece of bread. I still remember very clearly the crisis of 2008, when I was not paid my wages for four months in my place in the office.

Pechnik

Andrey, 45 years old, Moscow

Where to study

In Moscow, there are courses called - School of Russian Masters. Education - two months, there are full-time and correspondence courses. It costs something around 30 thousand rubles. Then they can take in assistants - the second person, the third person in the team. Courses do not provide practical knowledge. You know the theory, but how in practice ... But the community of stove-makers does not leave its people in trouble. You can choose any of the list - call, ask. Gradually, you learn from your mistakes, from your bumps.

Initial set

The more you plunge into the profession, the more tools you need. And at first you can get by with a grinder, a trowel, nothing else is needed.

How in general?

I have been laying stoves since 2010. There are professions where people earn money. There are professions that people do for the soul. And in this work, you can combine both. All my clients constantly call, congratulate me on all the holidays, invite me to visit: “If you drive by, stop by for tea.”
There is also a negative. Now there are many guest workers everywhere, they do everything. Starting with the construction of fences and digging wells and ending with the construction of houses and the construction of stoves. When you arrive at the facility and find out that you are already the third stove-maker, that the person was burned twice ... But if you know your job, after 5-6 days this negativity disappears and normal relations appear.

At least 100 thousand rubles a month. More than the average salary in Moscow.

carpenter

Where to study

I have a secondary special education, I studied after school. You can get a job as an apprentice to the master - usually not very qualified workers go.

Initial set

A basic set of carpenter's tools will cost about 30 thousand rubles.

How in general?

In general, I like the work. I get pleasure. Again, variety: you can make furniture and stairs, especially if you work for yourself. So I just started building a workshop on my site. The only bad thing is the injuries. Well, yes, two days ago I drilled my hand. I'm already used to the fact that for each order a drop of blood is standard. When I make furniture - either a deep splinter, or something else.

If you work for hire, on average you can get 40-50 thousand rubles. And if you yourself, like me, then you can easily receive from 30 to 100 thousand rubles a month, depending on orders. You choose when to rest, when to work. I actually have a higher economic education. But what's the point? Then I will receive the same 30 thousand rubles, but by working all month. And as a carpenter, if I work hard, I can earn them in three days.

Nurse

Where to study

You can not study at all, since often nurses are required without special education. A few years ago I found myself in Moscow without work and housing, and at first it so happened that I contracted to sit with the grandfather of a friend, and then I realized that, in principle, I was satisfied with such a life. I work under private arrangements, but there are also agencies where they will train, if necessary, and draw up documents. If you have a medical education, you can do injections, droppers, dressings - you will earn more, although sometimes the difference is very small.

Initial set

All that is needed, including rubber gloves, is provided by the relatives of the ward. All you need is physical strength. And more. Sometimes patients are very full, and they have to be lifted, turned over, and some of them even carried to the bathroom, for example. And if a person has it, then you need to be able to hold him, fix him, if necessary ... It is also important that there is no physical disgust and what I would call good-natured indifference: if you worry too much about the patient, it’s harder for you, but it’s also the last thing to get angry at him, get annoyed .

How in general?

Fine. Of course, you are tied to the place, it is not always possible even to go to the store if there is no replacement. But I am a loner in life, I like to read, watch movies, play games, surf the Internet - and there is enough time for all this. I now have a paralyzed patient who is quite elderly, he sleeps most of the time. You wash him, change his clothes, feed him, give him pills, read something to him aloud, go about your business - and the day has passed.

I have my own room in an apartment, travel card, Internet, full meals and 30 thousand a month for personal expenses. In principle, there is nothing to spend on, I convert almost everything into foreign currency and save it for the future.

crane operator

Where to study

I studied at the company, there were three-month courses. And he immediately got a job there. In general, now there are many courses for crane operators, any licensed institution teaches. I don't want to learn. There are also requirements for candidates, mainly medical ones. Still, we are dealing with different factors: chemical compounds, elevated temperature. Completely pass the medical examination. If healthy in all respects, they give admission to training.

Initial set

The cost of the courses is free. And during the training, you also get paid some kind of salary.

How in general?

This is an interesting job. Mechanisms and pieces of iron are what any man is interested in. Be sure to know the basics of repairing equipment. Work in shifts: there is a morning shift, there is an evening shift. Morning - from 6:30 to 14:00, evening - from 14:00 to 22:00. The actual workload is about half the shift, 4-5 hours.
The first time you study, you work in tandem with a slinger who walks under a crane. It shows the commands you need to understand. Stress, of course, is still there, as it is dangerous: the cable can break at any moment. But you get used to it with time.

The average salary is 40-50 thousand rubles. For our region, this is a very good salary. My wife works in a kindergarten for 10 thousand. The average salary in our city is 30 thousand rubles. So I'm not complaining.

Greenhouse assembler

Where to study

I came to the organization when I knew nothing, and I was trained. They saw the enthusiasm and took me. The main thing is to have a desire to learn. Started working in 2005, the work was related to glazing. Now for several years I have been engaged in greenhouses.

How in general?

If I didn't like the job, I would look for something more interesting. I think a person should always strive for the best. The number of orders depends on the season. In the spring, the snow melts - everyone leaves for the gardens, they start ordering greenhouses. But, in principle, in winter there is a demand for greenhouses: they are cheaper out of season. If you engage in glazing in different directions, then you can keep yourself busy all year round. The working day can start very early - sometimes you have to wake up, for example, at four in the morning. Hours of operation are not standardized. I adhere to this principle: "If a person does not find time for rest, he will find time for treatment." Weekends are a must with the family, family comes first. In general, I have time to relax.

The average salary of an assembly worker, if we take our region, is about 40 thousand rubles. This is quite enough for our places. During the season you can earn more. There are a lot of wrong things going on in our region when it comes to work. They don't pay salaries to people. At my old place of work, in a different specialty, I still owe money. Now I am much calmer financially.

plumber

Where to study

I have been in the profession for over five years. I did not finish the course, I studied along the way. I consulted with the guys and coached myself, so to speak.

Initial set

A basic set of plumbing tools is at least 40–50 thousand rubles. You also need a power tool: a puncher, a grinder.

How in general?

In general, I like the work: I am my own boss. At least I haven't found anything better yet. My working day starts at six in the morning, because I live in the Moscow region, and I work in Moscow - it takes a lot of time to get to the object. But it all depends on the order - if anything, I can later. The main negative in the work: misunderstanding with the customer. Fortunately, this doesn't happen often.

We work piecework, month after month is not necessary. On average - from 70 thousand rubles a month.

Groomer

Where to study

I studied for three months at the Master Groom firm in St. Petersburg. To sit on the tail of a specialist - now there is no such thing. Lots of courses and seminars. Within a year you become a normal groomer. Training is not everything, experience is needed.

Where to get clients

Our firm has a VKontakte page, and I have a VKontakte page. For example, people walk with dogs: “Where did you cut your hair so beautifully?” - "Over there." - "Okay, give me the phone number." Word of mouth is stable.

Initial set

Desire and understanding that this is a physically and psychologically difficult profession.

Despite the fact that the unemployment rate in Russia has slightly decreased over the past few years, large-scale optimizations in the state and production sectors create prerequisites for an increase in the indicator. Therefore, the question: what professions in 2018 will be most in demand now is relevant. Especially scrupulously study the ratings of school graduates who choose their specialty.

Ministry of Labor statistics

Those for whom official employment, the payment of all compensations and the provision of benefits prescribed by law are important, should pay attention to the statistics of state employment centers. Depending on the region, the first places may change, but in general, the list of specialties with the largest number of open vacancies is rather uniform and will not change significantly in 2018.

Most of all in Russia in 2018 there is not enough:

• builders;
• drivers;
• doctors of various directions;
• teachers;
• engineers
• qualified locksmiths and mechanics.

Most often, employers are looking for unskilled workers: security guards, elevator operators, cleaners, watchmen. That is, if desired, even people who do not have a specialty can earn money.

But still, the most popular professions in 2018 require graduation from an institute, or at least a technical school. You can safely get a diploma of a doctor or teacher, as these areas will allow you to receive a stable (albeit small) income for many years.

Advice! If it is not possible to graduate from the institute, then you can get a secondary specialized education. The labor market lacks nurses and builders with a certain specialization (roofers, fitters, concrete workers).

It should be borne in mind that trends in the labor market are constantly changing. The popularity of individual specialties can suddenly increase and just as quickly, in 3-5 years, lose their relevance. Before making a decision, we advise you to analyze not only the labor market, but also the general trends in the development of the economy.

What specialists will be in demand according to the largest job aggregators?

Due to the fact that state-owned enterprises generally do not use private sites to search for employees, and private employers are less likely to post jobs for low-skilled workers, the unofficial 2018 list of in-demand occupations is slightly different.

In terms of the number of unfilled vacancies, the categories are leading:

1. Sales (sales managers, distributors and sales representatives are required);
2. IT-technologies (enterprises are in dire need of programmers);
3. Accounting and accounting (looking for simple accountants and financial analysts).

Recruiters note the high demand for engineers and technologists. Moreover, technical specialists are required literally in all areas: from agriculture to pharmaceuticals. The builders also got into the rating. But if workers are looking for construction workers through employment centers, then requests for managerial personnel prevail on the sites. Employers are looking for managers with a construction specialty.

As for working professions, on the sites you can find current vacancies with wages ten times higher than those offered by state employment centers. The fact is that employers put forward high requirements for applicants. To earn 60-70 thousand rubles (as opposed to 15-20 thousand offered by state-owned enterprises), an ordinary worker must find an approach to clients, communicate independently with suppliers and contractors, and be able to read blueprints. And this is not counting the practical skills of working with co-profile tools and equipment.

What professions are recognized as the highest paid in 2018?

No matter how in demand the specialty of builders is, everyone knows that the biggest money can be earned in other areas. The highest paid professions are concentrated in the IT industry. When reviewing the list, you need to take into account that the proposed fixed salaries are indicated, otherwise sales managers would be in the lead (at a low rate, employers promise stunning percentages from each transaction).

IT specialist

Dozens of new devices developed domestically will enter the Russian market in 2018. In connection with the rejection of foreign experience, employers are already actively looking for their own, "full-time" programmers. Key skills: JavaScript, CSS, JMS, and XML, will allow you to receive 80-100 thousand rubles a month. But the ability to develop multi-threaded and highload applications, independently analyze and correct errors (one's own and others'), coordinate a team of specialists - will bring up to 300,000 rubles per month.

Lawyer

Despite the fact that the market is already oversaturated with representatives of legal specialties, the level of wages offered does not decrease from year to year. Jurisprudence offers hundreds of career options, ranging from an ordinary legal adviser to a representative in international courts. The final level of wages depends on the geographic location of the employer, the experience of the applicant, and even the presence of connections. Chief lawyers and heads of departments dealing with legal issues earn the most. The formula is simple: the larger the corporation, the higher the salary. In Moscow, the average monthly salary of a senior executive can reach 300,000 rubles.

Chef

Previously, the work of a cook belonged to the category of work areas and was poorly paid. But along with the development of the leisure and entertainment industry, I had to admit that the chef is a promising profession. In order to take the position of a chef in a prestigious restaurant and receive 200-250 thousand rubles, in addition to cooking haute cuisine, you need to be able to:

• to establish and support the normal work of the team;
• calculate the cost of meals:
• develop technological maps;
• control the quality of food;
• deal with customer complaints.

In addition to high pay, a nice bonus of such a profession is the opportunity to eat right at work, as well as constantly improve your skills at the expense of the employer.

Aircraft Commander

Demand in this profession is not too high. There are far more graduates of flight schools than there are vacancies. To become an aircraft commander and earn about 250,000 rubles, you will have to graduate from a university, spend about 10 years flying 3000-4000 hours and get all the necessary permits, certificates and certificates. The advantage of the profession is the opportunity to see literally the whole world. And if you wish, you can try to find a job outside of Russia, with a minimum salary of 400-450 thousand rubles.

Designer

The highest paid engineering professionals work in the oil and gas industry. Despite the rapid fall in oil prices, in 2018, the demand for people with design skills is predicted to grow. The heads of project departments earn the most (about 200,000 rubles). At the start of their career, graduates of technical universities are offered 40-50 thousand rubles. However, most orders can be done at home.

It must be remembered that highly paid professions in Russia are not always the most in demand. When entering a university, it is better to be guided by your own preferences and interests.

A wide range of industries and areas of human labor activity can be divided into 2 main groups:
production of material
production of intangible

The sphere of production of material goods is the creation of objects from initial resources or the preparation of these resources for exploitation. For example, construction, forest production. In order to erect a wooden frame, a worker needs building materials. They are provided by a worker in the timber industry. Of course, the material is not limited to wooden houses alone. There is a huge variety of working specialties, but one thing connects them - the creation of something material.

The scope of the creation of the intangible is wider from the very beginning. It includes many areas of activity - health care, science, culture, trade, law enforcement, education, finance and credit. Working in this area, as a rule, you do not bring anything material into the world. However, this does not mean that workers in this area are useless. By their labor activity they ensure the correct functioning of this or that structure.

Many large enterprises have representatives of both fields of activity in their staff. Their competent and well-coordinated work is the key to the success of any large company.

Main types of professions

Division according to the subject of labor

Occupations are divided into 5 parts according to the subject of labor:
work with nature
work with technology
work with a person
work with the sign system
work with art

In any kind of work activity, you will definitely encounter at least one of them.
Working with nature means using or exploiting the resources of the Earth. For example, a farmer, a veterinarian, a beekeeper.

Working with technology, a person ensures the correct functioning of a particular device. For example, a machine operator, a repairman, a photographer.

When working with a person, a specialist must ensure the correct understanding of some information, rules or foundations. For example, a teacher, a nanny, a translator.

Working with a sign system involves processing the signals received from the machine into a human-understandable format. For example, a programmer, technologist, editor.

When working with an artistic image, a person must have a certain talent. For example, an artist, a journalist, an actor.

New types of professions

A powerful leap in technological progress creates new jobs. The most striking example of this is the Internet. 20 years ago, no one would have thought that the browser would be able to give you advertising messages that are based on your preferences. The network industry employs a huge number of workers - programmers, advertising specialists, translators.

Many aspiring artists gain popularity through their work on the network. Teachers now have the opportunity to conduct remote lessons via Skype.

Summing up everything written, we can say that obtaining professional skills is entirely in your hands. Do not be afraid to try new things, develop yourself. Always have a goal in front of you, and gradually move closer to it.
Good luck in choosing a profession!
