For a long time, what a person does for a living was considered part of his world, a significant element of status, position in society. Occupation also determines the inner world of the individual. Is it possible to say unequivocally what is the most respected profession? Much depends on the state of society, on the leading ideology. On how much education is valued and respected.
For example, what was the most respected profession in the USSR?
Engineer, doctor, teacher… The intelligentsia, especially the scientific and technical, although they did not earn much, they enjoyed authority. Nowadays, priorities have changed, and few sincerely and purposefully go to a pedagogical or technical university. In Europe it was a little different. Lawyer, notary, entrepreneur - the most respected profession in post-bourgeois society allowed, above all, to earn good money. Now, alas, we are also very different from Europe and the United States, where being a scientific or medical worker is prestigious. Where doctors practice privatepractice, and in public hospitals you can earn, if not very much, then enough for a normal life.
What is the most respected profession for Russians these days?
What do young people aspire to be? With the development of capitalism, entrepreneurial qualities and an occupation that allows you to open your own business have become increasingly valued. At the same time, education is no longer so important as acumen, ingenuity, forward-thinking, and the ability to negotiate. And they don't teach it in universities. According to the statistics of admissions and competitions to universities and institutes, it is difficult to unambiguously say which profession is most in demand. You can refer to the European experience. For example, in Germany, Great Britain, Denmark highly skilled programmers are required. Consequently, the most respected profession from this point of view is related to information technology. Doctors and paramedical personnel are also in demand. In Russia, nurses or nurses earn several times less than their counterparts in Europe. The situation is similar with scientists. On the one hand, the cult of knowledge and education has always been strong in Russia.
But on the other hand, young people, considering what professions they have and what they can do in the future, take into account the prospects for earning. And they are negligible for scientific personnel in Russia. Even professors and heads of departments can hardly support their families.
What properties should the most respected profession have in order tobe considered as such? First of all status. That is, a person engaged in a certain type of activity is often perceived and evaluated through the prism of his profession. In Russian society, for example, jurisprudence is still considered prestigious. Secondly, social guarantees and opportunities to earn money are extremely important. Here, too, certain shifts can be observed. For example, if earlier military personnel or officers of the FSB were provided financially thanks to all sorts of benefits, and not high salaries, now the situation has changed. But the profession "businessman", which in Soviet times was considered something almost indecent and certainly not entirely legal, is regaining its status these days. People have stopped relying on state support and are increasingly relying on themselves and their strengths.
