Do you want to know which specialists of which professions receive the highest salaries? And why exactly are they? We provide a ranking of the highest paid professions in 2019.

Rankings of high-paying professions change every year and differ from country to country. For example, in the US, surgeons and anesthetists receive the highest salaries, $ 230,000 - $ 270,000 per year, according to the Department of Employment. Medical professionals in the United States receive salaries higher than financial analysts and IT professionals. And in our country, unfortunately, a doctor is rather a vocation. In 2018, the mayor of Moscow announced that the average salary of a doctor in the capital is 134 thousand rubles. But the doctors themselves only laughed at the statistics and said that they had never seen such salaries in their life.

How did we rank? It is not always possible to objectively measure income in the profession. If we consider the level of income of different specialists, we will note that in a number of professions there are isolated representatives who receive disproportionately more money than others. The income of top stylists is 300-400 thousand rubles a month, and the average salary of a qualified hairdresser in Moscow is 50 thousand rubles. There are not so many stars in the professions. Professional footballers, singers, actors, founders and company executives. The chance of getting into their ranks is so small that when calculating income, it is important to focus not on these rare birds, but on an average specialist. We analyzed the average salaries in each profession at the end of 2018, according to Superjob, Rabota.ru, and HeadHunter.

Please note that there are no top executives or executives on this list. There are only narrow specialists, who are still lacking in the labor market, and their salaries are higher than the national average. In abundance, of course, there are various types of "IT specialists", medical specialties and employees with high responsibility - pilots and captains. And, as you can see, there are no humanitarian specialists.

Highly paid professions in Moscow

Moscow boasts the highest salaries in the country. And the gap in salaries is so great that a dentist in Moscow receives 120-150,000 rubles, and in Ryazan, 30-40,000 rubles. In Moscow, the same specialists are in demand as in Russia as a whole, except for the extractive professions. High salaries for IT specialists, managers of different levels, civil engineers, medical specialists and bank employees. And, of course, one cannot but say about civil servants. The average salary of a State Duma deputy in 2018 was 348 thousand rubles. Therefore, if you want to serve the people, get parliamentary immunity and at the same time earn that kind of money, then you can become an official. For this, only completed secondary education is officially required.

Highly paid professions in St. Petersburg

CFOs, sales directors and heads of IT departments earn the most in St. Petersburg, as well as in the country as a whole. And from non-management specialists again IT specialists, marketers, financial analysts. After the 9th grade, you can get the demanded working professions - an administrator in the tourism business or an electrician. The average salary for these specialists in St. Petersburg is 50,000 rubles. The foremen of blue-collar specialties, provided that they work "for themselves", have no upper wage limit. A qualified plumber, gasman, electrician, when fully loaded, can earn 200-300 thousand rubles a month.

Highly paid professions for girls (for women)

Girls, according to Russian law, cannot work in dangerous military professions and in hazardous industries. The most suitable and highly paid professions for girls at the moment include: marketer, flight attendant / stewardess, PR manager, private psychologist, realtor, lawyer, accountant. Although girls make excellent technical specialists - engineers and programmers. For example, employees of IT companies believe that a software tester / QA engineer is a job that women are more successful than men, because it requires perseverance and full concentration.

Highly paid professions for men

In addition to IT specialists, pilots and captains, which we have already mentioned, engineering specialties - design engineer, production engineer - and harsh professions in the extraction and processing of raw materials are traditionally considered male. The highest level of wages in the country today is in the oil and gas industry. This is due to the fact that mining is carried out in harsh natural conditions. Going on a business trip on a nuclear icebreaker, installing a new oil rig or enriching diamond ore, although more difficult, can be more profitable than working in an office from 9 to 6.

Highly paid professions for the next 5-10 years (promising professions)

The labor market is similar to the market for goods and services. A specialist is a commodity. If at the moment the number of specialists in the industry is not enough to cover the demand of employers for them, in other words, they are in short supply, then the profession is in demand and is highly paid.

Why are there few specialists? Most often because the industry is developing at a rapid pace, and the education system is lagging behind - it does not have time to prepare a qualified professional for the tasks of an employer. The current boom in the IT sphere is due to the fact that universities do not train enough IT specialists, including an insufficient level for the employer. For example, you can become a programmer or information security specialist at a university or college, but at the same time a person can grow to the level of a devOps engineer, game designer or Big Data analyst only on his own due to his strong-willed and intellectual competencies. Therefore, such professionals are hunted by HR-ry.

Another reason for high salaries may be the "infinity" of vacancies, that is, the demand for this specialist not only in the Russian labor market, but also abroad. This category includes all the same programmers, athletes, pilots, captains of sea vessels. Russian employers should provide a professional with a salary, if not at the level of European or American, then not much lower, otherwise the employee will have a desire to move to a foreign company. This situation developed in aviation in February 2018, when experienced pilots began to leave for Asian countries, because overseas salaries and demand for their specialty are higher. Aeroflot was forced to raise the salaries of pilots operating Boeing 777 and Airbus A320, up to the declared 650,000 rubles.

Highly paid professionals who will be in demand in the next 5-10 years are:
✔ IT specialists
✔ Financial analysts
✔ Specialists in the mining and chemical industries

However, remember that the shortage of specialists in a particular field may end and the level of salaries will decrease. Therefore, choose a profession according to your liking and interests, so that you would like to develop in it. Then you are sure to find a job that will bring financial well-being.

There are no unimportant, unnecessary professions. Each specialty plays a big role for people in society. The in-demand profession is a category that many people try to guess or "catch". In particular, this applies to students, applicants,. There are professions in short supply that are highly paid.

The labor market changes frequently, and it is difficult to predict its trend for the next 10 years. From time to time it is difficult to predict the next 1-2 years. Consider the popularity of the profession on the market now, with a 5-year perspective. The market for technologies and services is rapidly developing, putting forward requirements for certain specialists. It is difficult to accurately predict indicators and trends for women and girls. There are general characteristics in this area.

What professions are in demand now?

Researchers put forward conflicting information. Entering one specialty, finishing the current direction, it becomes clear that the direction is not in demand. This error occurs frequently. Difficulties arise in the search for applicants, engineers and so on. Now we know the decaying state of the industries, low wages. There are simply no people willing to give their time and energy at the minimum payment.

Choosing an unprofitable profession

The demanded specialties can be determined according to research data, information from government orders for specialties. The overwhelming majority enter training in the direction of economist, manager, employee of a company related to international relations. It becomes more difficult to get a job in such specialties every year, given the desired considerable salary for the cost of labor.

The professions in demand, based on the state order for specialties, are as follows:

1. Teachers in schools, middle-level institutions. Women's orientation, where there are a minimum of those who want to work. The state encourages young people to enter pedagogical universities, understanding the wages in the areas, the budget does not allow for sufficient growth.
2. Medical workers. A severe shortage of doctors, nurses and nurses looms. Polyclinics are being closed, there are no specialists in many specialties as such.
3. Engineers. The growth of technical development is not supported by the right staff.
4. Work in the field of nanotechnology. There are no necessary educational institutions to study the disciplines.
5. IT specialists. The modern market is not adapted to the required number of employees. There is a shortage of both institutions and specialists in these industries.
6. Psychologists. The trend is only developing, gaining momentum, there are still few knowledgeable workers in this industry.
7. Marketers. The market, goods, services have not always been studied. The direction is just being mastered, the market does not have the necessary personnel.

You saw what professions are in demand. Now there is no confirmation of the relevance of these specialties in a year or two. Professions in demand in the labor market are distinguished by low wages, minimal opportunities for self-realization in areas. A small number of applicants are ready to enter these specialties.

What professions will be in demand in 5 years?

Looking ahead is more than justified, so let's explore the most popular professions in Russia in 5-7 years. The labor market is flexible, dynamic, changing, depending on many factors. The reorganization of educational institutions aimed at obtaining a certain specialty also makes it more static.

In-demand professions of the future

The top-priority specialties for the female sex in 5 years are as follows:

• Builders;
• People involved in the service sector;
• Engineers;
• PR-management specialists.

Construction specialties are relevant due to the improvement of the demographic situation in the country. There is a need to build new housing, renew the old fund. Commercial objects are gaining popularity - business centers, offices, retail space, production halls and so on. Intellectual work, which many people in Russia are switching to, is becoming relevant. The service sectors are popular - opening, work at service stations, car repairs, the work of waiters, administrators of cafes, bars, restaurants, sellers, distributors is in demand.

Intellectual labor rules the world

After 5 years, the demand for specialties will start to grow faster than now. The advantage is the absence of the need to obtain in-depth knowledge of the direction. Minimum information with sufficient work experience, the necessary skills will be enough to organize a high-quality labor process.

Specialties that were popular several years ago are losing their relevance. For decades to come, the labor market is provided with areas where managers, lawyers, economists, office employees, and administrative personnel work. Now the actions of the administrative staff are replaced by the optimized work of organizations, the use of new technologies, reduction of costs, human labor resources.

Journalism in the standard understanding of this direction will be on the verge of extinction. The relevance of this work is gradually starting to fade into oblivion now. Not to lose popularity and television, the number of presenters on which is now a lot.

Most information products, data, articles are available on the web. It is not necessary to get an education in the field of "journalism" in order to present relevant facts to a wide range of people.

The most demanded and highly paid profession

One and the same profession will be relevant in foreign countries and irrelevant in Russia. This question concerns professions in demand for men and women. Western countries differ markedly from Russia in this matter. There is a shortage of teachers and engineers on the labor market. Such professions do not allow you to receive the desired funds while working in these industries.

Top managers, employees of the oil and gas industry receive a lot, but their demand in terms of percentage is minimal - 5% of the total number of people in the labor market.

Oil and Gas Employees

It is easy to make a list of the professions in demand, but the highest paid and most in demand are not clearly indicated. When using the arithmetic mean and miscalculations, the conclusion suggests itself that a popular and highly paid profession is a programmer, a specialist in IT technologies. The result is argued by the need for highly specialized personnel, the promising directions. The number of women in specialties is growing - 10 years ago there were mainly men. This trend will not change in the coming years.

What professions are most in demand in the world?

Considering the labor market in the USA, Europe, after analyzing, researching, making a list, you can come to certain results. In Africa, labor market monitoring will be more difficult. The reason for this is the low economic development of the state.

Topical professions for the USA, Europe - IT specialist, financial expert, software security specialist, employees in the field of advertising, PR technology, management personnel, mathematics teachers, specialists from the hotel business. Note that teachers are in demand, their work is paid accordingly.

IT Specialist in the USA

This description is conditional, changes, starting from the continent to be explored. Most popular and highly paid professions intersect here. The state emphasizes, distributes the budget correctly. This covers the deficit in the labor market without harming the inhabitants of the country.

Exotic professions in demand in Russia

The uncommon professions in demand in Moscow are already surprising many. They are very interesting and exotic. For example, this includes a slaughterhouse, an athletic shoe tester, a boogie-woogie trainer, a floating rig captain, a carcass butcher.

Carcass cutting specialist

The vacancies are not fictitious, they are on the labor market. Potential specialists are offered a full social package, good wages. For the most part, only highly specialized training is required for training. Before that, a person is obliged to get a higher education. Demand is not an indicator in relation to these professions. Many of them are very rare and specific.

A non-standard approach to solving the problem

The labor market in Europe is different from the Russian one. For example, in Germany, prostitutes - brothel workers are a popular profession. Paradoxically, this is a fact. Girls, women, whose age has not reached 40 years old, are accepted there. Decent wages, social benefits, official employment are guaranteed. There are deductions from the salary to the pension fund.

Considering the labor market in Russia, such a situation is excluded. There are many disputes on this topic - an immoral profession that leaves a mark for life. Some argue that prostitution has existed, is and will not disappear. This way of legalizing activities helps to solve the problem in the labor market. This specialty in Russia is out of the question - mentality, upbringing, morality are barriers to legalizing prostitution.

New directions of work

With a high probability, new specialties will appear on the labor market in the next 10 years. These include:

1. Intergenerational translator. This is how conflicts between fathers and children will be resolved. Over time, they become aggravated, people of different ages cannot fully communicate.
2. Leader of network communications. Expert groups, forums, communities - places where hundreds and thousands of people work. For more effective debugging of work, a special direction will be created, PR faculties will be developed.
3. City farmer. Actual direction when living in the city. There are few lands, there are no resources for growing vegetables and fruits. It is technically possible to equip greenhouses, create crops on the roofs of high-rise buildings. This practice already exists in Japan and the USA.
4. Urbanist-ecologist. Environmental specialists work in the construction industry.
5. Biotechnologist. Development of technologies, substances that do not harm human life. Replacing habitual harmful substances with safe ones. Biofuels instead of diesel fuel, bio-concrete instead of standard building materials.

Distant future

After 20-50 years, professions will appear that would be difficult to guess. They will be associated with the appearance, repair, operability of robots, intelligent organisms.

The profession of the distant future

Due to the increase in information, a certain direction in psychiatry will emerge to help cope with brain overload.

Considering the possibility of organ transplantation, organ biomodelling, specialists will appear to control this area. The emergence of genetically modeled organisms, which will be followed by the architects of living systems, is not excluded.

This is just a guess. Whether the labor market will be built in this way can only be judged in 10-50 years. For now, one should focus on the specialties that are relevant at the present time.

Choosing a profession is a question that everyone faces. From early childhood, a person tries to understand what place he will occupy in adult life. Someone sincerely believed in the career of a firefighter, someone wanted to become a ballet actor, and some dreamed of selling sweets to children. Unfortunately or fortunately, not all children's wishes come true. With age comes understanding: the ideal profession is not only a favorite, but also a demanded business. Today's schoolchildren and applicants must anticipate changes in the labor market. In this regard, it is necessary to understand the list of professions in demand in 2020-2025. It must be capacious and reasonable - then it will be possible to use the freedom of choice.

What was relevant before

The first professions appeared even before the emergence of civilization. Then, among the ancient people, it had a clear, specific character. The man's task was to ensure the safety of the "home", women and children. He also had to provide the tribe with food. Women, on the other hand, raised children and made sure that the fire in the family hearth always warmed the household. The redistribution of responsibilities appeared when humanity began to change its usual way of life. The nomadic tribes became sedentary, and the development of agriculture began. There was such a profession as a tiller.

The hard physical labor with which people cultivated the land pushed society towards the invention of more convenient devices. The craft appeared. Over time, the professions of potters and blacksmiths arose - these were professions related to the future. Dynasties of craftsmen constantly improved their skills, which triggered progress. In the end, this has led to the fact that there are currently about forty thousand different professions.

The emergence of a narrow specialization

Already in the twentieth century, there was an urgent need for the division of labor. If earlier "jack of all trades" were indispensable and in great demand, then in conditions of a congested labor market and a constant increase in demand for goods, narrow specialists were needed. The first to understand this was Henry Ford, who divided the production of cars into conditional workshops. Each of them produced a separate part of the overall mechanism. People worked where they were more successful. The result was an increase in the output of finished products by several times. Other major manufacturers have adopted Ford's example, and now every company uses the conveyor method.

How was progress

In industrial Russia, traditional factory workers were popular throughout the twentieth century, receiving good wages, and young people, wanting to be useful, gladly went to work for large enterprises. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many factories lost their stability. A new era has begun on the labor market - the development of the service sector. Construction developed no less actively - large cities were built up with high-rise buildings. Thus, at the beginning of the 2000s, new, promising professions were the professions of a builder, bricklayer, plasterer, as well as managers, waiters, specialists in the field of restaurant and tourism business and other service workers.

In 2007, society increasingly wondered what professions would be in demand in 10 years. The applicants understood that the whole subsequent life depends on their choice. Then the ratings of the professions of the future were full of sales managers, marketers, customer service specialists, IT engineers, lawyers, economists and some others. This suggests that at that time the service sector continued to develop and the demand for qualified specialists was constantly growing. But even then the trend of development in the field of scientific research began.

Scientific development today

Scientific research now plays a decisive role. The future development of the country and society depends entirely on the daily achievements of scientists. The peculiarities of scientific development are that there is a clear division of science into several independent disciplines. This makes it possible to resolve urgent issues in more detail. Research and experiments at this stage of human development are primarily aimed at solving environmental problems. Thus, an expert in the field of alternative energy will be in great demand on the labor market in a few years. The field of medicine is no less important, since extending life and improving its quality are the primary issues of our time.

Medical professions

The development of technology allows specialists to constantly improve. However, this medal has another side: employees need to improve their qualifications and undergo retraining programs. Undoubtedly, the results pay off all efforts - after all, they prolong human life.

The future is theirs

It is easier to present a list of in-demand professions in 2020-2025 with a list:

1. Surgeon. This specialist must keep up with the times. So, already in 2012, an operation was performed to implant the implant of the lower jaw, which was pre-printed on a 3D printer. Operations for the implantation of artificial organs such as the kidneys, liver and even the heart are well known. The ability to use completely new technologies is the most important skill of the successful professional of the future.
2. Health care manager... A representative of this profession will need to select a team of scientists, engineers, developers and researchers and coordinate their joint work to achieve commercially promising goals.
3. Medical Equipment Architect. It is a symbiosis of the profession of an engineer and a medical worker. This specialist will develop the design of medical equipment, as well as ensure its normal functioning. This profession is also called "bioengineer". Where to study? In universities, in which there are areas of "medical photonics", "biotechnical and medical devices and systems", "computer technology in medical physics".
4. Genetic consultant. This is a specialist in the field of genetics who identifies hereditary diseases, determines the individual characteristics of metabolism and examines diseases that cause viral and bacterial infections.
5. Molecular nutritionist. The duties of a representative of this profession will include the study of the molecular composition of food and the development of an individual nutritional regimen for each patient.

Industry

In order to understand the question of what professions will be in demand in 10 years, it is necessary to analyze the economic development of the country at the present time. Industry is the leading sector of the economy in Russia. This is the most important factor influencing the development of the state. A specialist who has connected his life with this area will never be left without work.

Where to go?

Industries:

• Food grade.
• Lightweight.
• Chemical.
• Mining.
• Metallurgy (ferrous and non-ferrous).
• Mechanical engineering and metalworking.
• Fuel and electricity.
• Coal, oil and gas.
• Forest.

Thus, industry provides society with everything that is necessary for its normal functioning. The food industry of the future, for example, is developing new varieties of plants for human consumption. The number of vacancies in industry is always higher than in other sectors. In addition, there is a need to optimize production, so that, in addition to representatives of blue-collar professions, the work of economists, biologists, and many other specialists will be useful here.

Indispensable in the industry

So what are the most in-demand professions in 2020-2025? The list will look like this:

1. Design engineers who will design new equipment and invent more modern technology.
2. Nanotechnology whose field of work is cutting edge nanotechnology.
3. Chemists, biotechnologists, petrochemists, employed in all branches of the chemical industry: from household chemicals to complex chemicals used in production.
4. Seamstresses, textile workers, cutters, whose work will always be in demand in
5. Lumberjacks, locksmiths, sawers ensuring the correct distribution of forest resources.

Professions in demand in 2020-2025: a list for men

Many primordially male professions have been mastered by women as well. So, now ladies can be not only drivers and bosses, but also politicians, policemen, and installers. But, despite the wide distribution of such professions among the fairer sex, some areas are much more suitable for men. These include the professions of a sailor, pilot, miner, lumberjack, plumber, bodyguard, security specialist, firefighter, military, as well as a builder or scientist. The most promising areas for men are:

• Programming.
• Design.
• Engineering.
• Cyber ​​prosthetics.
• City farming (organization of production of farm products in a metropolis).
• Space industry - spaceship piloting, cosmogeology and galactic architecture.

It just so happens that more men are endowed with a technical mindset than women. This plays into the hands of the stronger sex: the rapid development of science and industry requires not only an increase in the number of workers, but also the involvement of technical minds. Designing, drawing, planning, organizing and optimizing production requires a strong and strong-willed person at the head of the table. Often, such positions are occupied by a man.

In-demand professions in 2020: a list for girls

Representatives of the beautiful half of humanity are not inferior to the male part of the population. Diligence, punctuality, clarity of actions and an unconventional approach distinguish female specialists from the overwhelming majority of male colleagues. The ability to adequately overcome difficulties at work in our time is also inherent in ladies. Thus, the areas of work for women are very diverse: from creative specialties, in which girls are traditionally considered professionals, to complex technical sciences. This includes the work of a teacher, marketing, tourism or advertising manager, realtor, designer of all directions, as well as a psychologist and even a security specialist.

The most demanded "female" professions in ten years will be professions:

• Journalist.
• Editor.
• Nanomedics.
• Cosmotourism manager.
• Game teacher (specialist in teaching children in a playful way).
• Mind fitness trainer (brain training).

Women will not be left without work. A stable life position, activity, enterprise, which calmly coexist with tenderness and complaisance, will always come in handy in the labor market. No direction is complete without the participation of a woman's hand. In addition, among the students of the country's leading universities, the overwhelming majority are representatives of the fairer sex. Educated girls are able not only to build a brilliant career, but also to teach important knowledge to their children.

How do you choose the perfect profession?

Applicants are faced with a difficult choice: to go to study in the direction to which the soul lies, or to choose an unloved but demanded profession? Everyone decides this for himself. However, successful careerists in their field advise to find a middle ground. Not a single profession, even the most relevant in the future, guarantees complete material security. How the future life of a person will turn out depends only on his desire to move and develop in his direction. But do you want to grow up in an unloved business? Definitely not. Therefore, you need to go where it will be interesting to work in the first place, and the rest will follow.

Development of science and technology

The speed of progress is impressive. Literally ten years ago, humanity could not imagine what the science of today would be capable of. Even now it is difficult to believe that implants of vital organs can be printed on a 3D printer, that the space tourism industry not only exists, but is also actively developing. That nanotechnology is at the forefront of industrial development. It is difficult to imagine what the in-demand professions will be in 2020-2025. The list can only be conditional. But one thing is clear for sure: the future cannot do without qualified specialists. It means that you need to learn, develop and work a lot on yourself.

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 another job. Some mastered working specialties, others went into the service sector.

Let's remember what was relevant 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 nurses (despite the introduction of automation systems) and skilled workers: electricians, welders, turners. According to the information of the department, entrepreneurs, managers and document specialists more often than others remain unemployed in Russia.

The Ministry of Labor also provided a list of high-paying 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.

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

Looking into the future: what awaits us after 2020

The recruitment agency Unity surveyed Russian companies and compiled a list of professions that will be in demand in 2021. The top 5 includes the following specialties:

• Food production technologist.
• Mobile Application Architect.
• Biochemist.
• Financial analyst.
• Strategist in the field of search and personnel management.

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

Companies well-known in the labor market are also conducting a survey. According to the recruiting company Hays: more than half of the respondents 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 included the following specialties:

It includes over 100 new specialties, most of which will appear only after 2020. The developers identify 5 future trends: automation, globalization, more complex control systems, increased competition and environmental requirements.

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

Which profession should I choose?

Nobody 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 the Atlas.
• Monitor vacancies: mark the demanded requirements for applicants, the level of wages.
• Listen to the forecasts of experts and monitor the labor market. For example, HeadHunter periodically publishes reports for specific regions and industries. An example is on the website hh.ru.

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