Managers are traditionally considered to be the leaders in terms of salary in Russia. According to the recruiting portal Superjob, offers for top managers - directors of organizations and heads of main business areas - start from 220-250 thousand rubles.

The upper limit is usually hidden behind the wording “by agreement.” This means that the salary depends on the qualifications of the applicant and will be supplemented by a bonus system for achieving certain results.

In some positions, managers' earnings are close to a million rubles.

In second place are highly qualified specialists in the IT field. Recruiters claim that this direction is more promising. A mobile application development specialist who has proven experience can, after only 3–4 years of work in the industry, qualify for a salary that a manager can reach in 10–12 years.

Also among the highest paid specialists are airline employees. Managers (for example, technical director) are offered from 300 thousand rubles, the pilot-in-command - from 350 to 470 thousand rubles or more, the head of the flight attendant service - from 150 thousand rubles.

What is the best profession in the world and does such a thing exist? The question is not idle, since a person always strives for the ideal. However, the answers will differ, because people expect a variety of benefits from their occupations: high salaries, self-realization, status in society, or just pleasure. Let's look at the list of cool specialties that are available on the Russian labor market.

Top ten

First, let’s figure out what criteria we use to determine the best professions. We will take into account the level of payment, demand in the national economy, job prospects and employee development opportunities.

So, taking into account these criteria, the top 5 professions, according to labor market experts, include:

  • Engineer. After the economy sank in the 1990-2000s, economic growth began, new enterprises are opening, and old ones are being modernized. The national economy needs engineering workers in a variety of profiles: designers, mechanics, technologists and others.
  • IT-specialist. It is believed that the high-tech industry will continue to grow rapidly for at least another two decades. Computer systems in industry, communications, and mobile applications play the role of driving forces for the development of this segment. System architects, graphic designers, programmers for different languages, etc. are required. One condition is that in this industry you need to constantly learn in order to keep up with progress.
  • Top manager. The success of a company largely depends on a good manager: the ability to involve the expert community and develop a development strategy, select personnel and control all processes is not available to everyone. Therefore, their wages usually start from 100 thousand rubles.
  • Doctor. Medicine all over the world does not stand still; new treatment methods and sophisticated diagnostic and operating equipment are emerging. You can become a surgeon, urologist, otolaryngologist, gynecologist, pediatrician, anesthesiologist - all specialties are now very promising, and the system of private clinics allows you to earn a good income.
  • Pilot. The plane has long been recognized as the fastest and most popular mode of transport; the frequency of landings at major airports has approached the number of bus arrivals at stops. The lives of hundreds of passengers depend on the qualifications of the aircraft commander and his assistant, so only the best pass through a strict selection process. In large airlines, the work of pilots is protected by law, they receive a large salary and benefits package, while in small airlines they often have to work extremely hard.

The top 10 popular professions in Russia also include:

  • Oilman. This industry is strategic in our country; the well-being of people largely depends on it. There is a big competition at universities for geologists, designers, specialists in the construction of gas and oil pipelines, well drillers, and automation of technological processes.
  • Ecologist. Many are concerned about the state of the environment and the impact of human activity on the climate, so they go to study for this profile. And although the authority of the profession in Russia is not yet as high as in developed countries, the situation is gradually changing.
  • Chemist. This direction is now developing very rapidly; here there is a symbiosis of scientific thought and its practical implementation. Many new materials with improved properties are being created by chemists; it is also important to work on new types of fuel that will replace traditional ones.
  • Translator. In addition to the prestige of the job and decent pay, this profession opens up wide opportunities related to traveling around the world, communicating with interesting people and making new acquaintances. In addition, there are many employment options in related fields such as journalism, tourism or literature.
  • Dentist. This is truly an eternal profession, it is already thousands of years old, and it is still relevant and profitable. Hesira, who lived in Ancient Egypt in the 28th century BC, is considered the first dentist. e.

To become in demand in the labor market and withstand intense competition, you need to graduate from a good university and subsequently constantly develop professionally.

Second ten

Now let's look at the best professions that are in the second ten of our rankings:

  • Journalist. This activity has changed greatly with the development of the Internet and social networks. Now it’s not enough to just publish some news; you need to be prepared for feedback from your readers.
  • This is a prestigious job with good prospects for career advancement. To achieve success, it is very important not only to know your business thoroughly, but also to develop Soft Skills (supra-professional skills), which can be used in banks, investment and consulting companies, and on stock exchanges.
  • Marketer. Studying existing and opening promising markets for goods and services means developing new horizons for business and increasing its income. For a job well done, such employees, in addition to salary, receive a percentage of the profit.
  • Logistician This industry is receiving new life with the development of computer technology. Now it has become easier to create a logistics chain for the supply of goods involving various modes of transport, and warehouses are increasingly automated.
  • Cosmetologist. The beauty industry is an achievement of recent decades. Many traditional recipes for improving the appearance of women have been superimposed on scientific research, as a result we have a whole new industry, the turnover of which is comparable to some types of industrial production.
  • Lawyer. This direction offers cool professions that are diverse. The work of a prosecutor is not at all similar to that of a lawyer; a notary works with documents, and an investigator works more with people. Having a law degree, you can choose a place to your liking.
  • Psychologist. Modern life has become very fast and has a huge stress impact on people. In the West, they have long understood this and prefer to turn to a “shrink” with their problem rather than take out their irritation and resentment on loved ones. Gradually, the importance of this profession is beginning to be understood in Russia, and more and more young people, especially girls, want to study as a psychologist.
  • Scientist. After a long period of stagnation, interest in fundamental and applied science is growing again. This is largely facilitated by a new approach to project financing. Grants, unlike traditional models of cash injections, are aimed at a specific result and allow you to form teams of specialists for a specific task.
  • Pharmacist. This is a chemist and a physician rolled into one, who develops new medicines and improves existing ones. All tablets and mixtures that you purchase at the pharmacy are created by pharmacists. This is one of the most profitable sectors of the economy.
  • Astronaut. The dream of most boys and some girls is to look at our planet from above. Getting into space is very difficult; to do this you need to go through a rigorous selection process and lengthy training. Currently, various scientific research is being carried out at space stations, and in the future, perhaps, colonization of planets suitable for life will begin.

This is the top twenty best specialties. The situation on the labor market is changing dynamically, which is why the rankings are shuffled every year.

What professions are still popular?

In total, there are more than one and a half thousand types of activities in the country's national economy. In addition to those listed in the top twenty, the top 50 professions also include a number of specialties that are interesting and necessary for people. Some require deep intellectual knowledge, others require physical strength and endurance, and others require patience and responsibility. Let's just list them:

  • Electrician
  • Information systems specialist.
  • Hospitality worker.
  • Pastry chef.
  • Locksmith.
  • Aviation engine technician.
  • All-round milling machine operator.
  • Tiler-facer.
  • Industrial equipment repairman.
  • Welder.
  • Instrumentation and automation specialist (instrumentation and automation).
  • Hairdresser-stylist.
  • Design technician.

When deciding what to become, what profession to choose for yourself, you need to approach the choice carefully, carefully analyzing your strengths and weaknesses, and also predicting your career after graduating from university or college. Often, in universities and colleges, due to an outdated curriculum, they teach things that are no longer useful in practice. In this case, you will have to take additional courses to meet the requirements of employers.

To be competitive in the labor market, according to experts, it is advisable to master an additional profession from a related industry or from a completely different field of activity. This will help you find a new job faster if problems arise. Another option is to achieve the highest level of mastery in your craft. Even in difficult times for the enterprise, the manager will keep an ace employee until the last minute, but if he loses his job, it will not be easy to find a job in his specialty again, and there are no additional skills.

It is advisable to carefully study the analytical materials of the employment center or recruiting agencies about the demand for certain professions, their prospects, and salary levels 1-2 years before starting to prepare for entering a university. It would be a good idea to meet with a HR specialist from a well-known HR company and ask him all the questions that concern you. It is also worth thinking about potential places of work in advance, and during your studies, try to get there for an internship or internship. This will make the employment process easier if you manage to prove yourself from the best side.

  • Study the list of professions approved by the Government of the Russian Federation and the Atlas.

It exhausts and keeps you in suspense, which affects the well-being of doctors. To master this profession, students study for 10 years. Although, in fact, they study all their lives, because medicine is constantly developing and entails the emergence of new technologies.

Recognizing the complexity of the profession, doctors are respected and revered. Accordingly, surgeons are paid according to their work. The average annual salary of a doctor is $250,000. Based on where the doctor works, he is provided with bonuses in the form of health insurance and benefits. US doctors receive the highest salaries for their work.


All people have teeth, but maintaining their health is not always possible, so the help of a dentist is necessary. Today, this field of medicine is progressing and developing, making it possible to find a solution to any problem, including the complete absence of teeth. At the same time, the cost of treatment is surprising in large numbers, because it is difficult to find a specialist. Dentists are among the professions in demand with corresponding salaries. The average annual income of a doctor reaches $200,000. Being a dentist is promising and profitable. The best salary today comes from US dentists.

Psychotherapists

Developed countries need psychiatrists - doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental disorders. Psychiatrists provide prevention and assistance to people with mental illness, and also monitor the isolation of persons with mental disorders and behavioral disorders if these persons pose a danger to themselves or others. The psychotherapist’s place of work is a medical institution, a private office or his own center. The annual salary for such serious and responsible work is $151,000.


Gynecologists are also in demand, whose responsibilities include the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with the female genital organs, taking into account the age and individual characteristics of each patient. Main specialties of the industry:

  • a pediatrician who observes and corrects age-related cyclic changes in the sexual sphere of girls;
  • gynecologist-surgeon who performs operations aimed at eliminating problems of the genital organs;
  • urogynecologist who treats the pelvic organs;
  • a gynecological oncologist who helps cure tumors using modern techniques;
  • gynecologist-endocrinologist, responsible for the diagnosis and specific treatment of the reproductive system in married couples in order to get rid of infertility.

A gynecologist is prestigious and in demand, because such a doctor is involved in the health of a woman, and therefore the future generation of the country as a whole.

The annual salary for such a responsible job is $174,000.

Anesthesiologists

Before the surgeon, whose profession ranks first in the ranking of the highest paid professions in the healthcare sector, begins work, the patient is prepared for surgical operations by an anesthesiologist, on whose professionalism the success of the operation depends. The doctor assesses the patient's condition and calculates the dose of anesthesia to be administered. Human life depends on the accuracy of the anesthesiologist’s actions, and therefore the responsibility that lies on his shoulders is sometimes estimated even higher than the surgeon’s earnings and amounts to $162,000 per year.

Of course, the presented rating may soon change, but surgeons, anesthesiologists, analysts and genetic engineering employees will retain leadership positions for a long time. Experts predict: breeders, nanotechnologists and ecologists will be in demand in the future. It should be remembered that a correctly chosen profession should, first of all, bring pleasure, and then earnings, even if it is not the highest, will also be a joy.
