All about scientific professions

Many schoolchildren who are just choosing a profession want to connect their lives with science. About what professions are associated with it, about their pros and cons, as well as their main characteristics, we will tell in the article.

Science is developing rapidly, new discoveries are constantly being made. For such people who are interested in this area and plan to get a profession related to it, a lot of opportunities will subsequently be opened to realize their potential. However, the scientific professions have both pros and some cons, which we will list. Let's start with the cons. Here we include a complex and long study process, in order to get the honorary title of candidate or doctor of science, you need to work hard. In addition, the pay of such a worker is unlikely to be high at first, especially when it comes to work somewhere in the regions.

Another significant disadvantage will be the gender inequality that sometimes occurs in Russia. It may be somewhat more difficult for a girl in this area, because the stereotype that science is only for men still exists. However, things are not so bad! Let's talk about the pros. One of the most positive aspects of working in the field of science is the possibility of self-realization. For employees involved in research, there is an opportunity not only to learn something new for themselves and improve their intellectual level, but also to make their own contribution to science.

Basically, all scientific professions are associated with the exact sciences, such as, for example, physics and mathematics. Therefore, if you are interested in scientific activity, and you plan to get an education in this area, we recommend that you pay attention to them. Now let's look at professions that are related to science. These include astronomers, mathematicians, petroleum engineers, as well as nanotechnologists, engineers from various fields.

Some of the scientific professions are in high demand in the labor market and, accordingly, are highly paid.

• Physics. No, now we are not talking about teachers or professors at the university. We are talking about those who are working on current scientific research. Their sphere of activity includes the advancement of new theories, the discovery of certain laws. The salary of a person working in this specialty can reach 106,000 rubles a month.
• Astronomy. Please do not confuse with astrologers. We are talking about those people who study space phenomena, thereby expanding people's knowledge of the entire Universe. This area is now quite popular, and therefore quite highly paid. The salary of such an employee can reach 100,000 rubles.
• Nanotechnology. This is a generalized name, it includes specialists in various fields who can act as workers in various fields: genetic engineering, medicine, pharmacology, and so on. It is possible to list for a very long time, however, the demand in the labor market for competent specialists from this field is only growing, and their salaries can reach 100,000 rubles and more.
• Nuclear engineer. Specialists who work in this area are mainly engaged in research and questions about the extraction of nuclear energy, as well as the effective disposal of radioactive waste. The salary of such a specialist can vary from 70,000 to 100,000 rubles.
