I think for now that I’ll just be me.

The Most Prestigious Professions and Non-prestigious Professions in Ukraine
There are a lot of different professions but high-prestige positions are those which have not only a good salary, but also a high public status, influence and are respected in the community. The prestige of a profession, on the one hand, depends on the degree of responsibility and complexity, but on the other hand, it depends on the great demand for specialists in the labour market. And the demand depends on the macroeconomic situation in the region and the sociopolitical situation. But still more often the prestige of a profession is determined by its payment.
According to a survey conducted by the experts of the HeadHunters portal now in Ukraine the most prestigious is the profession of an IT specialist because it is extremely in demand in the domestic labour market. Thus, only one candidate claims one opened vacancy. One of the types of software developer, a web developer, a specialist in the sphere of information security, a programmer are well paid but employers’ requirements for them are quite high. These professions give you the chance to work everywhere in the world, either as a freelance worker or an employee of a company. Nowadays especially information security is very important. Every large company needs not only someone to analyse their data, but also they need someone who can keep their data and system safe, regardless of their location. A good IT specialist is respected everywhere.
The second place in the rating of the most prestigious professions
is top management. The senior officers and managers have overtaken the positions of lawyers, prosecutors and defence lawyers. Professionals working in the field of jurisprudence are proud of their professions very much. The top 10 of the most prestigious professions also include bankers, businessmen, pilots, doctors and astronauts as well as economists and financial officials.
