Start of work

When the teenager turned 18, he easily entered the University of Kazan at the faculty of logic and psychology. Then the famous mathematician N.I. worked here as rector. Lobachevsky, from whom one could learn a lot.
From the first year, Evgeni Klimov studied well. He liked to learn everything new and unknown, draw conclusions, work with people and tried to attach to the conversation. In 1953 he graduated from the university and began to work at the department of psychology and pedagogy. At the same time, he still worked at school, where he taught logic and psychology. However, in 1954 this department was closed, and Klimov became the head of Kazan University. There he wrote textbooks and articles on psychology.
Professor Merlin was a teacher of Klimov, who advised to defend his dissertation. Eugene did so. He defended his thesis in 1959 and then began to develop a new, special concept, in which he helped people realize their capabilities, inclinations and hobbies.
Scientific interests of Klimov

He was also interested in professional self-determination, problems of theory, and the history of psychology. Thanks to his interests, he wrote a lot of books, textbooks and monographs on the topic of psychology.
Klimov interestingly wrote a book “How to choose a profession?”, Which presents the results of labor, educational institutions, labor activities, etc. The psychologist argued that many people choose the wrong field of activity and therefore their future is not as bright as we would like. After all, everyone should work in their place. If he loves animals, then you should not study as an accountant, since this specialty will not bring success.
Subjective activity concept of professional work
Professor E.A. Klimov began in 1970 to develop a concept that directs a person's attention to his inner self. Thanks to the psychologist, people began to understand their spiritual world. After all, each person has certain values, a personal worldview and the meaning of life. However, not everyone thinks about it.
Klimov argued that there are many diverse professions where a person will be comfortable. For example, some people are ideal for working with nature, flowers, animals. Such a profession is indicated by the combination of the two words "man-nature."
Many people work great with the technology that almost everyone needs. It can be engines, rockets, kitchen appliances and much more. Such a profession falls into the category of "human technician".
There is a world of human-society professions. This is mainly communication with people or children. These are such specialties as a teacher, telephone operator, etc.
The concept of Professor Klimov is to solve applied problems that are aimed at a person, his profession and specialty. He argues that you should not go to work for the benefit, as sooner or later a person will regret his choice.
