Perhaps only Moscow can boast of the highest salaries in our country. At the same time, the gap in pay for specialists of various professions in this city and in other regions is large. For example, a dentist in Moscow receives an average of 120-150 thousand rubles, and in Saratov - 30-40 thousand.

In general, the same specialties are required in Moscow as in the country, with the exception of the oil-producing professions. The maximum salary can be counted on:

• senior managers;
• civil engineers;
• IT specialists;
• narrow-profile doctors;
• management personnel in financial institutions.

• marketer;

• accountant.

Ladies make good programmers. Leaders of thriving IT companies argue that women are the best at performing software tester functions, as this activity requires maximum concentration, scrupulousness and perseverance. Girls can achieve good success in the position of an accountant, the salary of a chief specialist of a large enterprise can reach 200 thousand rubles. per month or more. The services of online accountants are in great demand.

Representatives of the stronger sex most often become pilots, sailors and IT specialists. In addition, the positions of engineers are in demand among them, as well as harsh specialties in the mining and processing of minerals. In the oil and gas sector, the maximum level of wages is observed today - this is due to the fact that one has to work in difficult weather conditions. Agree that installing a new oil rig or concentrating ore will be much more difficult than sitting in an office from 8 to 17.

The most promising areas include the work of an architect. The salary of this specialist directly depends on his qualifications. A beginner worker is unlikely to receive more than 40 thousand rubles.

Specialists of the highest category receive allowances that are 2-3 times higher than the salary itself.

At all times, financial specialists were valued, they receive an average of 60 to 150 thousand rubles. Employees of the highest category can have a salary comparable to the salary of the head of the company.

In general, the modern labor market is no different from the goods market. A professional is the same commodity. If the number of offers in a particular industry is insufficient to fully cover the demand, a deficit arises. Such workers will always be in demand and dearly paid.

However, before determining the prospects of a particular specialty, you need to understand the reasons for the shortage of personnel. First of all, they are associated with the fact that the development of the industry is ahead of the capabilities of the education system, universities simply do not have time to adjust their curricula to meet the real needs of the economy. So, The boom in the IT industry is explained by the fact that today educational institutions prepare IT specialists with insufficient qualifications for a potential employer. For example, to become an information security engineer, you can graduate from an institute and even college, but in order to take the position of a devOps engineer, game designer or Big Data analyst, you will have to study the subject on your own.

Another reason for the increased salaries is the lack of boundaries of the profession, that is, the popularity of specialists of a certain category not only in Russia, but also abroad. This applies a lot to the same programmers, pilots, athletes, and medics. If Russian employers offer wages below European levels, then the employee will have a natural desire to move to work abroad. A similar situation took place in the winter of 2018, when experienced pilots began to massively move to work in eastern countries. After that, Aeroflot was forced to raise the level of payment to the pilots to the declared level of 650 thousand rubles.

In conclusion, I would like to give some advice on choosing a profession for future specialists. Unfortunately, children at the age of 15-17 are not always able to make an informed choice that will determine their life in the future and allow them to find the optimal vector of development for themselves. Most often, this is done for them by the parents, without taking into account the child's predisposition and his interests. If you are not sure which specialty to choose, here are some guidelines.

• Make a list of what you enjoy and what you enjoy and analyze it. Evaluate what your warehouse is - humanitarian or mathematical, whether you like working alone or want to self-actualize in a large team, whether you will be comfortable communicating with people or you prefer to sit staring at a computer. Focus only on your desires without taking into account the opinions of peers and parents.
• If possible, get tested to identify all your strengths and weaknesses. As a result, you can get a list of suitable professions. Similar programs work online as well. In addition, many schools offer special career guidance activities for high school students.
• If you have chosen "your" specialty, but could not find it in the list of the most expensive, do not rush to refuse it. It is important to take into account not only the needs of the market, but also your abilities and desires, to assess your potential in the chosen direction.
