Many today are interested in knowing which profession is the most popular in Russia. Although the word "popularity" in the modern world with respect to the profession has two different, almost non-overlapping meanings. In the first version, the popular one is the desired one, that is, one which is preferred, which one can be proud of. But in another sense, a profession that is accessible to the majority can be called popular.
Media about employment in Russia
In May of this year, Moskovsky Komsomolets conducted a study on which profession is the most popular in Russia today. In other words, it was decided to find out in which area the working-age population is most involved. And the conclusion was overwhelming! To the question about which profession is the most popular in Russia today among men, the answer was given - a security guard. And among women, the seller’s labor is just as popular. Indeed, even with a diploma in hand, and a significant length of service in the work book, it is almost impossible for a person of age to find another job. The same applies to pregnant women, women with young children, visitors.
What is the
most popular profession in Russia in terms of prestige?
Today, older people with nostalgia for the past recall the fact that before all children dreamed of being pilots or astronauts. But times are changing. And today, based on the data of opinion polls, it should be noted that most respondents prefer the profession of a lawyer, financier, and manager. But today nobody wants to work in the field of science and sports. People are also not torn into teachers, educators, police, firefighters. Not very prestigious and medical specialties.
Who do young people want to study for?
Speaking about the profession as a whole, one should also answer the question about what is the most popular profession among students, whom our youth wants to learn. Here the picture is more exciting and varied. The younger generation wants to be engaged in future design, architecture, nanotechnology, the operation of airports and the provision of aircraft flights. The young people are attracted by marine engineering and energy, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, economics and management, radio engineering and communications. The professions related to graphics, painting, and sculpture are also successful. And, of course, they were always prestigious, there are and will be professions of artists.
Student profession for part-time job
But all this will be in the future: artists and lawyers, designers and programmers. In the meantime, students while studying are trying to slightly raise their material level. And what is the most popular profession among part-time students? Of course, the courier. In second place are promoters. These two professions practically do not require any skills, you can work on a flexible, convenient schedule. It is much more difficult to combine study and work with sellers, waiters, movers and managers. But these professions among students today are in demand. And absolutely unclaimed (even as part-time jobs) remain the profession of nurses, nannies, cleaners, janitors. Which, in principle, is understandable. This work is hard and low paid.
