Which profession of the most demanded professions of 2017 to choose
Dear readers! If you have any questions or comments on the topic of the article, please leave them below.
When choosing a profession, a person, first of all, dreams of significance. A good specialty allows you to ensure financial stability, prestige and respect in society. But, even having received certain skills and knowledge, it is not always possible to find a decent job, because there is no need for a certain qualification. What professions are the most in demand?
10 Ecologist
Recently, people began to think about why rivers dry up, animal species disappear. Natural resources are not infinite at all, and the question arose before humanity of how to keep the air clean. An ecologist studies natural disasters, analyzes land and water, and identifies the causes of the appearance of harmful substances. He has a noble mission - to protect the planet from industrial waste. He needs to determine the source of pollution in time in order to prevent an ecological catastrophe and correctly explain the causes of an unfavorable situation.
9 Beauty industry specialist
This implies several areas: hairdresser, makeup artist, cosmetologist, manicure, nail extension. People in any period of life want to look decent, so a specialist who knows how to choose the right hairstyle for any face shape, makeup, of course, will be perceived with a bang. A real master will be able to choose the most best option and turn the client into a beautiful and pleasant person. This profession is dominated by creativity, which helps to change the image in a few minutes.
8 professional worker
Oddly enough, but it is working specialties that are now very promising and highly paid. A qualified welder and fitter, who knows how to properly attach a part, will definitely find a job, and he will definitely be in demand in the labor market, demonstrating his knowledge and skills. BUT electrical equipment which not everyone can understand. Only a true craftsman who has shown his abilities to the employer is given the opportunity to be in business.
7 Personnel specialist
A fairly young profession that has replaced the usual "personnel officers". It is important not only to find and hire a person by checking Required documents. Now the creation of a healthy psychological climate in the team is much more valuable than experience or certain skills. It is clear that knowledge is important for development, but the activity of an entire organization is sometimes hindered by misunderstanding of each other. To avoid conflicts, a personnel specialist conducts trainings, teaches people to find common ground, and explains the reasons for an unpleasant situation.
6 Marketer
It studies the demand for goods and services, and then draws up a special program to sell products profitably. An enterprise that is engaged in the production and sale of goods needs to know what interests the buyer. The marketer looks for the path of least resistance where both sides win. The buyer, without prejudice to himself, acquires a high-quality novelty, and the manufacturer simultaneously receives profit and satisfied customer. It is he who must subsequently return and make a purchase.
5 Medic
There are few competent doctors who can make the correct diagnosis in a matter of seconds. Diseases are modified every year, and it is very difficult to determine exactly the one that needs to be fought. Medical professionals are in high demand. They have to constantly learn in order to understand new technologies, observe new courses of the disease, and consider completely unpredictable symptoms. They must have incredible patience, have authority over colleagues and patients. Warmth, kindness and benefit are people who take the Hippocratic oath. Saving the life of another person is a feat and a lot of work.
4 Lawyer
Modern society is inextricably linked with multiple laws. When making any decision, a person must necessarily know how legitimate his actions are. Experts versed in ornate decrees are well aware of all the tricks of the law. The organization, in order to remain successful among competitors, has a competent lawyer who can protect the head from wrong actions. He develops a certain strategy of behavior and adheres to the built rules.
3 Teacher
The lack of teachers affects the literacy of the student, from which an undereducated specialist will grow up in the future. It is very difficult to make up for lost time. Therefore, the future of the planet depends on the teacher. The better he will convey knowledge on the subject, the more reasonable the society will be. Of course, the salary of a subject teacher in Russia does not meet European standards, but this should not change the attitude towards one's profession. People who are going to work with children should not only be smart, patient, well-mannered. A modern child is saturated with unnecessary information, and to interest him in his studies is a matter for a real person who loves his profession.
2 Design engineer
This profession has several requirements. Before creating new project, a person should be well versed in the computer. Previously, when drawing a drawing with a pencil, the designer measured the drawing several times so that correct dimensions. Now the program does it for him. However, a wrong mouse click can instantly destroy everything that has been created for a long time. Therefore, knowledge of the computer not only helps in the work, but also speeds up the process of the appearance of lines on a sheet of paper. Design engineers come up with whole objects, separate communication systems, highways.
1 IT specialists
There are few specialists who understand computer technologies in the labor market. This profession is considered the most demanded today. Full computerization made the work of some people easier, but at the same time, it added problems for IT specialists who need to restore documents, protect valuable information, develop new programs, “cure” equipment from viruses and hacks. Every year technology is updated, and not everyone can understand it. Therefore, competent IT specialists are a real shortage.
Demanded professions are not always well paid. This is probably why many people prefer financial stability. But still, there are individuals in the country who study specialties, despite the low salary. They are true masters of their craft, creating an atmosphere of kindness and understanding around them. Kudos to those who love their work and take it seriously.
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 engineers the most sought-after specialists on the labor market. The ministry also noted the demand for doctors and nurses (despite the introduction of automation systems) and skilled workers: electricians, welders, turners.

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".

- 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.
