Admission to a university is one of the first adult tests that a teenager (and his parents with him) goes through. And the difficulty lies not only in the need to get a high score for exams and pass on a competitive basis. This is only half the success. Another part of it lies in the right choice of profession. The specialty that will become a matter of life for a teenager.

At all times, the variety of professions was conditionally divided into two groups: men's and women's. Of course, all this is averaged and does not have rigid frameworks and restrictions. And yet, you see, when speaking about the profession of a miner, fantasy draws not a fragile female, but a brutal and strong male image. The question is the habit of society. And consequently, in the choice of an employer when closing a vacancy, who, for some reason, believes that this or that profession is suitable exclusively for a man, or vice versa for a woman.

In this regard, we have developed small recommendations and conditionally divided them by gender to make it easier for future students and female students to make a decision on choosing their specialty.

If you look at the traditional “female professions”, then, according to experts in the field of recruiting, the trend today has not changed much compared to what it was 5, 10 or even 20 years ago. It is safe to say that a kindergarten teacher, an elementary school teacher (and, in principle, a teacher in secondary education) are professions that are more suitable for the beautiful half of humanity. There are many nuances here: this is the softness of character for interacting with young minds, and proximity to the maternal image, and patience. Among the best pedagogical universities in our country are the Russian State Pedagogical University named after A. I. Herzen (St. Petersburg), Moscow State Pedagogical University, Tomsk State Pedagogical University.

For approximately the same reasons, girls are advised to consider psychology as a future profession, which is excellently offered in many universities, as well as training for junior medical staff with the prospect of growing into a specialist in a specific medical field, which can be completed at the strongest specialized Russian universities: Sechenov University , Russian National Research Medical University named after N. I. Pirogov, Military Medical Academy named after S. M. Kirov and others.

The profession of a nurse

Treating people is not an easy job, and even the most competent doctor cannot do it alone, simply because there are so many more patients than doctors. Nurses help the doctor to cope with a large amount of work. Let's talk about this profession

If we consider more "office" professions, then they include a secretary, an office manager, an assistant manager, an accountant, an employee of the personnel department and the recruitment department. There are no specialized universities specifically in these areas, however, strong faculties for acquiring the mentioned professions can be found at the Russian State University for the Humanities, the Moscow State University of Culture, and the Russian State Pedagogical University named after A. I. Herzen.

More creative female students should take a look at the professions in the beauty industry: hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists, and image makers. These popular professions are taught at the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, the Institute of Economics and Culture, the Russian State University named after A. N. Kosygin (Technology. Design. Art). The resulting high-quality foundation can be reinforced in the future with current courses and master classes.

Speaking of classic “male professions”, such working specialties as a turner, electrician, welding engineer, locksmith, mechanic, factory worker immediately come to mind. You can get an excellent profile education within these areas, for example, at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. These professions are not only imbued with masculinity, but also promise good food: the recent decline in interest in working professions has led to a severe shortage of competent industry specialists in the market, and the employer is ready to hold on to professionals and pay highly for their competencies.

When choosing a profession, guys can also consider the road industry: professions related both to work on the road (bus, trolleybus, car drivers) and to the development of transport infrastructure in general (road repairers, engineers, builders of bridges and interchanges). You can learn a profession related to the transport industry at such universities as the Russian University of Transport (MIIT), Moscow State Technical University named after N.E. Bauman, Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Agricultural Academy named after K.A. Timiryazev.

Traditionally masculine and always desired among the younger generation are professions related to ensuring the safety of society: police officers, traffic police and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, firefighters, military men, who are trained in specialized educational institutions of departments, as well as information security and digital specialists. You can get a profession in the latest areas at Lomonosov Moscow State University and ITMO University.

Despite the fact that it is possible and necessary to rely on the concept of “male” and “female” professions, specialists in the field of recruitment advise making a decision based on a combination of factors, looking into the current present, analyzing the future and, most importantly, be sure to look into your own soul.

to enter the university

go to study in college, and then at the university

, take short -term courses for one of the new professions

go to work immediately after school

vote accepted!

1. Employment after university . Agree, it is strange to study at a university for four years (at least), and then go to work as a salesman in a shoe store.

2. Ability to change the learning path . No matter how great career guidance is set at school (and this happens quite rarely), when entering a university, few people imagine their future profession. It often happens like this: already during their studies, a student realizes that it would be more interesting for him to do something else and gain knowledge in another area. So, many universities today are trying to help such a student.

Sometimes universities even encourage students to switch from one training profile to another. But after the first two years of study. It is clear why: firstly, basic knowledge has been obtained, and secondly, by the end of the second year, a matured young man understands better what he wants to become.

3. Opportunity to gain additional knowledge . You need to look at what electives, what additional programs there are. The more “pumped” a graduate is, the more he will cost in the labor market. Do you know foreign languages? Can you create a website yourself? Do you understand the basics of economics? Do you write correctly in Russian? Answering “yes” to such questions in the enterprise's human resources department significantly increases the chances of getting a job.

4. How developed is the magistracy, what are the areas of training . It is clear that planning four years ahead is difficult. But you need to take into account: education today is a continuous process. And not all specialties take bachelors. If you want to get a deep fundamental education, you need to prepare for a six-year (minimum) study.

5. Are scientific research conducted at the university . Having entered the university, the young man, as a rule, has not quite decided on his future career. Maybe you want to become a researcher, go into science?

Science is very interesting. Modern laboratories have recently been opened in many leading metropolitan and regional universities, and unique scientific equipment has been brought in, which sometimes is not even available in academic institutions.

6. Online learning opportunity . A few years ago, the Ministry of Education and Science opened a one-stop shop for students who want to study online. Here you will find expert-tested courses from many universities. But here's the problem - not all universities are ready to count the course if the student brought a certificate stating that he was completed online. And this is wrong - online courses are recorded by the best teachers, and, of course, such studies really bring knowledge.

How to choose a good university

The admission campaign is in full swing, which means that it's time for applicants to decide on a university for admission. Of course, the USE scores will play a decisive role. However, even if the applicant is not a 100-point student, it is important to choose a good university that will provide a quality education0003

Monitoring the employment of graduates. You can see not only the percentage of employed graduates of each university for each area of ​​study, but also the average amount of their wages based on the results of the first year of work after graduation. And these are not surveys, but data from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, combined with the Rosobrnadzor databases.

Data from monitoring the effectiveness of universities. Here, each university is presented in the context of 7 main and over 56 additional indicators, including research and international activities, infrastructure, human resources. In short, a complete picture of all strengths and weaknesses.

Expert's opinion

Natalya Martynova, top manager, HR consultant :

– Today, gender identity is conditional in many professions. If even 5-7 years ago the same engineers in production and technical areas were mostly young people, then, according to personal interview statistics, today 60% are girls. As a professional orientation specialist, I can say that relying only on your gender when choosing a profession is not entirely true. First you need to ask yourself three questions: “What do I want to do?”, “Can I do this?” and “Can this skill be monetized into wages?”. Here you should get feedback from specialists in the field, look at the labor market and, if there is such an opportunity and need, order a consultation in the direction of career counseling or career guidance. Many specialists willingly communicate with young people even on a voluntary basis. You can also contact the employment centers, which offer similar services in terms of career guidance. But I still believe that you should do what you love. Only then is real success possible.

Lyudmila Melnichuk, head of department (HR business partner) :

– I'm sure that a couple of decades will pass, and such a concept as a male and female profession as a whole will lose its relevance.
