Workers of different professions. Types of professions
A few years before their graduation from school, teenagers are faced with the question: “What profession should I choose?” This choice is quite difficult, since it is influenced by parents, friends and other people around. It is important to have an idea of what professions exist, how many there are, and also what is needed in order to choose this or that direction for yourself.
What professions are there? Classifications
When answering the question “what professions exist?”, it is necessary to take into account that everything depends on the criterion by which the division is made. There are several classification systems for all existing professions. The most popular is according to E. A. Klimov, which divides all specialties in accordance with the system of relationships between man and nature, man, technology, the sign system and the artistic image.
Classification of professions according to E.A. Klimov
Specialties “person-to-person” are the most understandable system, since a person encounters people of this system every day in everyday life: teachers, salesmen, doctors, hairdressers, etc.
“Man and technology” are technicians, engineers, equipment assemblers, machine workers, etc. The activities of these people are directly related to mechanisms. This also includes metal mining and processing, car repairs and various installations, and construction specialties.
What professions exist related to the relationship between a person and the sign system? There is nothing complicated about it. A secretary, an engineer, a translator, a programmer in a work environment is faced with documents, symbols, signs, and diagrams.
The last system that correlates with artistic images is the creative specialties associated with the creation of musical creations and objects of fine art.
Number of professions
Of course, there are many professions, and it is quite difficult to calculate the exact number. This is not a static system that remains unchanged for years: every year the number of specialties in the world increases in parallel with the development of humanity. Since the question quite often arises: “how many professions are there in the world?”, there must be corresponding documents counting them.
The approximate number of specialties in the world is 40,000, and many of them seem quite exotic for temperate latitudes, if not incomprehensible and stupid. About 500 new professions are born every year.
What professions exist in Russia? Not all of the available specialties are available to our country, only approximately 1/4 of them. But this is more than 9000 items. Over the past 3 centuries, the figure has increased 450 times.
Demand for specialties
Of course, as many professions exist, as many specialists in this field can be found. At the same time, not all specialties are equally popular: this matter has its own seasonality. A specific list has been compiled of what professions are fashionable in Russia today. And it is different from what types of work are in demand today.
When determining the reason why applicants choose a particular specialty, the first place should be the need to have a prestigious profession and at the same time the possibility of a high level of earnings.
Therefore, many applicants go to gain knowledge at the Faculty of Economics. Despite the fact that every enterprise needs an economist, some time ago the market for such workers was saturated. Being an economist, it is necessary to have an idea of the place where such a specialist will be needed after graduation.
A wide profile of activities implies a position such as manager. They come in different directions: advertising, sales, crisis management, etc.
Due to the development of information technology, the work of a programmer is popular and in demand. In order to work with it, it is not enough to have only a desire - you also need to have the ability to do this type of activity.
Popular specialties also include working in the field of advertising. This is an interesting activity, creative and in demand, creative and paid, which attracts many young professionals.
Legal education is also at the top of the rankings of applicants.
Demand for professions: skills in short supply
Taking into account the fact that not everyone can afford to study at a prestigious university, many choose construction specialties. There is a constant shortage of personnel in this area, so even in such conditions, demand exceeds supply.
Since effective earnings are related to sales, the list of popular professions continues with a sales manager. Good specialists in this field have good earnings and are respected by their managers. However, finding such a person is not so easy.
The list of specialties that are not fully provided with specialists continues with the work of a salesperson. Supermarkets opening in great numbers are experiencing a shortage of professionals who are willing to take on such work.
Next on the list is the profession of engineer. The country needs such specialists, but it still cannot provide itself with the required number of employees. Every year many graduates become specialists at this level, however, despite this, the need for them is increasing.
Everywhere, enterprises advertise the need for drivers. Such positions are available in the food industry, and in the field of light textile production, and in public service points, and in stores providing delivery services. Working conditions vary widely: some require personal transportation, others provide a work vehicle.
Professions for girls
From the entire list, there is a certain list of those specialties that are more suitable for girls.
What professions are there for girls? Traditionally, women's jobs include the work of a flight attendant, a train conductor, a dispatcher of various call centers, a cosmetologist, and a nurse. Some of the list is sprinkled with men, but this is rather an exception, and a male hairdresser or stylist makes a mixed impression.
More often than not, women's work is associated with the creative process of creating something new, since the mental organization of the weaker sex is more subtle, and ladies are not particularly suited for physical labor.
Creative professions
In the directory of all specialties there is a list of those that are considered creative. Having such a job is interesting and prestigious today. The only catch is that in order to follow the path of creativity, you must have talent or ability for something. Next, it is necessary to consider in more detail the question of what creative professions exist.
- Traditionally, these include musicians, composers, and artists. These people have their own vision of the world, which you can verify by talking with them. As a rule, such people have talent since childhood and develop it in the appropriate art and music schools.
- If a person has a so-called sense of beauty, then one can come to a creative profession over the years. The work of a photographer and designer is interesting. These are fashionable words, but underneath they hide a very wide profile of activities: this includes interior design, clothing and footwear design, and landscape design. Society will always need good specialists in this field.
- When talking about what professions exist in the creative field, one cannot fail to mention the work of a stylist. There is a fundamental difference in it from the work of a hairdresser, who performs a haircut according to a template, while the stylist develops the image as a whole. A new direction in style is the work of a groomer who cuts animals.
- Journalism and PR management require quick response and communication skills; you need to be a good psychologist, feeling what those around you are oriented towards.
- Creative professions include actors, and this includes both film and theater actors, animators, circus performers, and representatives of the humorous genre. More generally speaking, all those individuals whose activities are related to public speaking.
How to decide on a career choice
When choosing the desired specialty from a huge list, you must first determine for yourself a list of those industries that are most attractive. Then you need to objectively evaluate for yourself what exactly you like about them and whether they are actually interesting.
It is necessary to approach the choice of profession individually, taking into account your preferences, not based on the popularity of the specialty or its profitability. It's better to be a good doctor than a bad programmer.
We want to talk about the ABC of Professions project, which we prepared with 1st grade students during the period of literacy training. These are the first steps in career guidance work, which must begin from the first years of school. The project is carried out in an interesting, entertaining form; There are creative tasks, and parental assistance is required. The whole class participated in the project.
Hello! We, students of class 1-A, present a joint project “The ABC of Professions”. In this work we wanted to show how many wonderful and worthy professions exist in modern life.
My years are getting older
It will be seventeen.
Where should I work then?
What to do?
(V. Mayakovsky)
Each of us will have to choose a profession to our liking in the future. How many professions do we know? Doctor, teacher, salesman, driver, programmer: these are perhaps the most famous professions for us. But we guessed that there were a lot of professions, very different, interesting, unusual. In a literacy lesson, we read a story in ABC about what the kids dream of becoming when they grow up. While learning new letters, we also read about people of different professions: cook, carpenter, diver. And so we thought, what other professions are there? It would be interesting to know about them. And not just find out, but connect it with literacy lessons. This is how the idea for the project came about.
The first thing we started our work with was to find out the names of the professions that exist in the world. And to make this task more interesting, we decided to look for the names of professions for each letter of the Russian alphabet. Let's learn letters at the same time! Each student in the class chose a worksheet with three letters of the alphabet. (Appendix A). At home, together with our parents or on our own, we wrote down as many profession names as possible for each letter. The assignments were handed over to our leader - our teacher. She summarized this work and compiled a list of occupations in alphabetical order. It turned out that we found 207 names of professions for almost all letters of the Russian alphabet!
And here is the next stage of work. From this large list we had to select the most unusual names of professions that we knew nothing about, had not heard of, or had no idea about. We worked in groups. We actively discussed, found out, argued. And as a result of the discussions, it turned out that in all groups three identical profession names were noted: agronomist, huntsman, radio operator.
Now we had to find information about these professions that interested us. We worked at home, our parents helped us. Here's what we learned.
An agronomist is an agricultural specialist who has comprehensive knowledge of the study and cultivation of field, garden, and vegetable crops. The word "agronomist" comes from two Greek words: "agros" - field and "nomos" - law. An agronomist knows when to sow and harvest, how to fight weeds, plant diseases, and pests. A high yield is the greatest reward for an agronomist.
A huntsman is a professional hunter, game warden, and forester. He protects the forest area from poachers and controls the correctness of hunting. The huntsman knows the forest and forest inhabitants very well, prepares food supplies for the winter for animals and birds, and protects them from poachers. Helps amateur hunters. This is a very important and dangerous profession.
A radio operator is a specialist in transmitting and receiving radio messages. He works at sea on ships, on submarines; in the sky on airplanes, in space; on earth where there is radio communication. A radio operator is a military profession. Information is transmitted using Morse code. Morse code is an encrypted alphabet.
As a result of the work done, we came up with a “Dictionary of Professions”. It contains the names of professions in alphabetical order. Read and choose your future profession (Appendix B).
To consolidate the acquired knowledge, we came up with a game. They composed a short fairy tale about how in one city an evil wizard harmed the inhabitants. It was necessary to answer the question of what professions people would help correct the situation and restore order (Appendix C).
Our work has come to an end. Let's draw conclusions:
There are countless wonderful professions in the world,
And glory and honor to every profession!
And most importantly, we realized that no matter what profession we choose in the future, we need to prepare for it now - study well, be diligent, responsible, careful.
ApplicationsIf you want to build a bridge,
Watch the movement of the stars
Drive a machine in the field
Or drive the car up -
Do a good job at school
Study conscientiously.

Good conquers evil.
Once upon a time there lived Lilliputians. And everything was fine with them until the evil wizard arrived. He covered the entire city with white snow. All the trees and bushes died. And spring and summer no longer came. The Lilliputians were cold and began to get sick. Then everyone gathered wipers and swept away all the snow. Agronomists They plowed the land and planted new trees. A doctors They gave all the residents tea with raspberries, and everything became as before. And the evil wizard realized that he had lost and flew away.
Georgy Timofeev, student of 1st - A class
Once upon a time there lived an evil wizard of darkness. He made his way to the city where people were going to celebrate the New Year. Everything in the city was decorated with beautiful light bulbs. Everything around sparkled and it was very light. The evil wizard brought in a strong wind, and all the electrical wires were cut off. Then they came electricians and fixed all the wires, and policemen drove away the evil wizard.
Maxim Shutikov, student of 1st - A class
One day an evil wizard came to the city of Happiness. He was also harmful. And so he decided to harm people. The wizard waved his magic wand and all the children in the city became stupid. They forgot the letters. But children can get help teachers. They will teach children to read and write.
Valeria Ploskonosova, student of 1st - A grade
Evil wizard.
An evil wizard mixed up the traffic lights in the city: when the pedestrians were red, the cars were also red. And so all traffic in the city stopped, and no one knew who to give way to.
And they helped fix it traffic inspector movement. They began to regulate the movement of cars and pedestrians with their striped stick. And the evil wizard gave up - he returned everything to its place.

Artist.
Winter came. All residents of Moscow began to prepare for the New Year. Everyone began to draw New Year's pictures. But no one invited the evil wizard who lived in this city to the holiday. He got offended and ruined all the drawings. In all the drawings, instead of Santa Claus, Kikimora appeared. The residents were upset. Who will help fix everything?
And in this city lived a good artist. People went to him and asked for help. With one stroke of his magic brush, he made Santa Claus appear in all the drawings instead of Kikimora.
Santa Claus now has a magnificent exhibition of paintings in his hut.
Ira Gerasimova, student of 1st - A grade
Fairytale story.
In a certain sea, in the very middle of it, lay an island. There was a city on it. Very friendly and hardworking people lived in this city. And then one day, when they were preparing to celebrate the big holiday “Island Day”, this story happened.
On the most beautiful square, the residents set up tables for all the islanders and prepared a lot of delicious food. But one wizard, who lived on a neighboring island, was offended that he was not invited to the holiday, and ruined the entire treat. He turned it bitter and unappetizing. And he cast a spell on all the residents so that they would forget all the recipes. The inhabitants of the island were very upset, because their holiday was ruined.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman came to their aid, as if from the foam of the sea. She had a metal suitcase in her hands. She opened it, put on her headphones and began transmitting some incomprehensible message. Residents of the town stood, watched and did not understand anything. A little time passed and a small red helicopter arrived. An important man with a white cap on his head sat in it. He brought a lot of food and prepared very tasty and unusual dishes. And the best dish was a huge five-tier cake.
The residents were very glad that their holiday still took place. They even forgave and invited their neighbor-wizard to the holiday. The wizard apologized, cast a spell on all the residents and decorated the square with flowers and balloons. And at the end of the holiday he gave all the residents a festive fireworks display. Everyone was in a very good mood.
Who were these mysterious helpers?
What professions can they be classified as?

What professions are the most in demand on the Internet?
When I started working on the Internet, I was thinking about what profession to choose, I also asked myself this question and tried to understand which professions are popular, in demand and highly paid? I tried to change direction several times, thinking that I could earn more in that profession.
Everyone who makes good money now has gone through this stage. Let's think about who makes good money and what does he do? After several months of changing types of activities, I realized that professionals who like what they do, no matter what profession, earn good money.
In any profession you can become a highly sought after and highly paid specialist, no matter if you are a designer, programmer or copywriter.
I even know administrators of VKontakte groups who earn from $1,000 a month and travel with this money all year round.
To choose your Internet profession, you need to proceed from what you like to do most, what brings you pleasure. If you choose a profession in which you think you will earn more, but it will not be fun, then you understand that you will have less desire, inspiration and motivation, and this is precisely the main factor of success.
If you are just taking the first steps to switch to remote work, you don’t know where to start and have a lot of questions, then come to our express training.

In our information age, all professions can be mastered absolutely free of charge using the Internet. But there are also special courses and training, we’ll talk about them a little later, in the next article.
When choosing a profession, it is worth considering two main criteria: personal qualities and so-called professional suitability. Simply put, a person must not only want to work in a certain field, but also have a certain potential for self-realization in it.
“Technical people” and “humanitarians” are the most elementary division of people according to the criterion of professional suitability. The corresponding abilities can be pronounced, but it also happens that a person has approximately the same inclination for both technical and humanities. In any case, within each of these two groups of professions there are many subgroups, and therefore the choice is quite wide.
Even the ancient Romans noticed that mala herba cito crescit (“weeds grow quickly”), and in order to get a good harvest, you need to work hard, and with skill. Today, food security for seven billion people is ensured by agronomists, gardeners, farmers, machine operators and even foresters - all those who work on the land or are professionally engaged in crop production.
The list of professions related to security can be both technical and social and humanitarian, and can be at the intersection of these two areas. In addition, in this area there is a division into security and information security. Security in the field of IT and engineering security are especially relevant at the enterprise level, and fire and military safety are, as a rule, issues of public service.
Representatives of military professions do not “work”, but perform public service. In addition, to become a military officer, you usually need to receive appropriate education from school age. The military professional sphere provides the country with people who can and are able to make responsible decisions, lead a competent strategy, and also contribute to its technical development. In a word, the mission of protecting the state in peace and war is entrusted to their shoulders.
To put it simply, computer-related specialties include a large group of professions directly related to information technology. IT (in the English version IT - information technology) is a set of methods and means of collecting, processing, storing and transmitting text, video or audio data. The use and development of this harmonious system is ensured by IT specialists, in other words, IT specialists: web developers, software testers, programmers, content managers, system administrators and dozens of other professionals involved in computer equipment, software and their use.
Professions related to the sky, of course, can be poetically called the most sublime, and they are suitable for 100% romantics. But you need to be prepared for the fact that the profession of an air traffic controller, flight attendant or pilot will require quite down-to-earth and absolute dedication - it’s not for nothing that cosmonauts and test pilots are awarded the title of Heroes of Russia for their work.
In the 21st century, beauty and fashion have become powerful industries, which means that to work in them, professionals are needed, and a variety of them: makeup artists, hairdressers, stylists, fashion designers. It’s not easy to break through and make a name for yourself in this field, but the work is extremely interesting.
Light industry is understood as a set of industries that produce a huge range of consumer goods - from toys and souvenirs to household items that are impossible to live without in everyday life. All this is developed and manufactured by representatives of different professions: clothing designers, fashion designers, tailors, seamstresses, shoemakers, weavers, furniture makers.
Modern linguists are no longer pure humanists, comparing the vocabulary of the poems of Byron and Pushkin or collecting dialect expressions on expeditions to cities and villages in order to compile a dictionary of dialects of disappearing nationalities. Today, the list of professions related to the theoretical study and practical application of different languages includes not only a translator and linguist, but also specialists in information intelligent systems who develop speech recognition programs, automatic text processing and other software.
In order for every buyer to always be able to find exactly the product he needs on the shelves of a supermarket, in a boutique collection and in a household appliance showroom, there must be a clearly established system of procurement, transportation, and warehousing. All this is done by sales managers, buyers, merchandisers, supervisors, brokers, brokers, logisticians, storekeepers, forwarders and other representatives of trade-related professions.
Doctors, nurses, geneticists, virologists and other medical researchers at one time chose the medical profession. The level of responsibility in this area is off the charts, and the knowledge required for work is sometimes at the intersection of sciences such as chemistry, physics, biology and even engineering. The list of specializations for doctors is not long. Today, medical institutions are constantly in need of anesthesiologists, pediatric and adult resuscitators, narcologists and psychiatrists, as well as emergency physicians and medical laboratory diagnostic workers.
Across the seas, along the waves - today here, tomorrow there. If you are ready to live in such a rhythm, then the professions of a sea captain, sailor, navigator, motor mechanic or diver are just for you. Working in the navy cannot be called easy, but maritime specialties have long and probably forever received the status of the most romantic.
In universities, everyone studies a variety of academic disciplines; for many graduates of higher educational institutions, science becomes a profession. Historians and philosophers, ethnographers and anthropologists, archaeologists and paleontologists, ecologists and sociologists, art historians and cultural scientists, nuclear physicists and biochemists, meteorologists and cartographers, geologists and gemologists - they all work in different branches of fundamental or applied science.
With the development of the non-state education segment, the level of demand for representatives of the teaching professions has increased sharply. In addition, the practice of private tutoring has become very common lately. Nanny work and employment in preschool institutions also require the candidate to have pedagogical education. Modern educational, entertainment and sports studios for children and adults offer dance, language, and creative classes. The teaching profession is in demand in all these areas.
Everyone loves to eat delicious food, but if at home we often make do with amateur express scrambled eggs, “constructed” in haste and to the best of our ability, then on an industrial scale the preparation and production of food is carried out by professionals: catering technologists, cooks, bakers, restaurateurs, and even tasters and sommeliers, who test the taste of food and compile wine lists.
Civil servants are employees of executive, legislative, regional and municipal authorities, police officers, prosecutors, courts, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and even the military. That is, these are not only officials in the usual sense for the majority, but in general all professionals working in government civilian or law enforcement agencies. Therefore, by and large, politicians and diplomats can be called civil servants.
Professions related to working with people either carry a certain social benefit, or are at the intersection of two (or more) spheres of activity, pursuing slightly different goals. So, if we compare, for example, the professions of a teacher and a personnel manager, then the first one works exclusively with people and for the sake of people (in general), and the second one pursues corporate interests. Therefore, working with people is a very general concept, which, however, in all cases requires the employee to demonstrate highly moral human qualities.
It’s not for nothing that wild and domestic animals are called our little brothers: they, just like people, need qualified medical care, professional care, proper education and reliable protection. All this is done for wildlife inhabitants and pets by veterinarians, paramedics, dog handlers, groomers, zoologists, trainers, gamekeepers - in short, specialists whose work involves direct or indirect contact with animals.
Travel agency workers, tour guides, flight attendants, pilots and others are prominent representatives of professions directly related to travel. However, there is a list of professions that are related to flights and trips only indirectly, and therefore they are of a business trip nature. Geologists, archaeologists and other researchers simply cannot imagine their lives without travel, although the essence of the subject of their activity is not at all in changing the dislocation.
Representatives of several dozen specialties work in the field of media and publishing. All of them ensure the publication of books, newspapers, and magazines. In recent decades, many traditional professions in this area, for example, journalist, editor or illustrator, have been adapted to the features of electronic media and virtual information platforms without changing their essence. Just like hundreds of years ago, correspondents, columnists, reporters, proofreaders, layout designers and other professionals do everything to ensure that the reader receives high-quality information - no matter in what format it will be presented.
It is unlikely that the ancient Greeks, leaving their everyday peaceful activities or military service while participating in the Olympic Games, could have imagined that two thousand years later sport would become a profession. But today this is the case, and in this industry, no matter how strange it may sound, football players, tennis players, hockey players, track and field athletes, figure skaters, gymnasts work, and bookmakers take bets on the outcome of competitions. Well, those who have not reached the professional level are introduced to sports by fitness trainers.
The list of creative professions is quite wide. The list includes artistic, theatrical, pop, dance and other areas related to art. If you feel that you are creative and talented, and creativity and art are the areas where you can express yourself, then you should definitely familiarize yourself with this section.
The field of engineering and technology is suitable for people with a strong aptitude for the exact sciences: mathematics, chemistry, physics, computer science. The corresponding professions are characterized by high dynamism: this is due to constantly ongoing industrial and technical development. Graphs, lists, drawings and calculations - this is the tool base of technical professions. To enjoy such work, you need not only to be able to do all this, but also to sincerely love the exact sciences.
Transport plays a vital role in the national economy of the country. It, in turn, is greatly influenced by technological progress. Not only the scale of transport operations is growing, but also the level of comfort, technical equipment of route lines, etc. People who manage and maintain transport are always in demand, but choosing a transport profession is associated with a significant level of responsibility. The dynamism of this area also requires employees to constantly improve their skills.
Economics, just like engineering and technology, loves precision and certainty. However, accuracy alone is not enough in her world: among other things, economic professions have their own specifics, which lies in the constant need for forecasting, positioning and analysis. Entrepreneurship as a profession combines all of the above, because market processes are subject to the laws of various economic sciences, and to successfully run a business, you need to take into account absolutely all the factors in this field of activity.
The list of legal professions is traditionally associated with justice, however, in the conditions of an emerging (developing) rule of law state, this does not end there. Both government and commercial organizations resort to the help of lawyers, and the scale can be very different - from an enterprise to the world stage. The activities of non-profit organizations are also subject to legal norms, so good lawyers do not remain without work.
