In the modern world with new inventions, discoveries and development of new technology some professions that were not popular several years ago get more and more job opportunities.
Recently even a number of new jobs have appeared. For example, a brand-manager is a person responsible for promotion of the companies brand and creation of company’s image. Web-designer chooses how the website should look like. The job of application developer also did not exist a decade ago. Although many of new jobs are connected with the Internet, still there are new tendencies in other spheres as well. For instance, if you want to have good design of your park or garden or simply get some advice about your room plants you should find a good fitodesigner. And a qualified colorist is often invited to work in textile, paper or paint production, this person is responsible for all sorts of colour combinations.
But not all jobs are equally popular and highly paid. The latest data shows that in Russia the most popular and the most needed jobs are IT-specialists, engineers (including designers and architects), teachers, lawyers, the job in a police has become more attractive recently, doctors, all kinds of workers, beauty specialists and ecologists. The latter reflects the general response in our country and in the world to the worsening of the ecological situation.
Partially this list is comparable to the list of most needed jobs in the world. It also has ecologists, IT-specialists, doctors and engineers.
But among other jobs in top ten there are journalists and image-makers, chemists, specialists in tourism, nanotechnologists and power engineering specialists.
As for the list of the highly paid jobs in Russia, it includes IT-specialists too, but it also has managers, dentists, chefs, programmers, chief accountants, business-consultants and specialists in oil and gas industry.
The most highly paid jobs in the world include lawyers, pilots, IT-specialists, managers of the highest level like company president, market analysts, genetic engineers, advertisement managers and three types of doctors: dentists, surgeons and anesthetists.
As we see, most of these jobs are not only highly paid but are also connected with a very high level of personal responsibility. Besides, this list of jobs reflects the situation in the world with new breakthroughs in science and growing number of all sorts of gadgets and software.
This list may change again in several decades. The specialists say that very soon the jobs of ecologists, engineers and nanotechnologists will be in the top ten. Although most likely such professionals as a surgeon or an Tl-specialist will still remain their high positions in among the highly paid jobs.
