A Third of Russians Choose Occupation Depending On Circumstances
Nearly a third of Russians choose their occupation depending on circumstances, showed the data of All-Russia’s Center for Public Opinion Studies.
According to pollsters, the situation determines the occupation choice for 29 percent of respondents, while 30 percent are governed by their personal liking.
Amid other factors, the respondents single out the absence of choice (12 percent) and the labor remuneration for a definite occupation and its market demand (11 percent each). Some 7 percent mostly rely on opinion of their friends and relatives, while 6 percent follow their immediate environment, 5 percent take into account prestige and career opportunities, and no more than 3 percent stick to the family tradition. Only 2 percent of the Russians are attracted by the education level that the university offers for a certain profession.
Young Russians (36 percent), the ones in the age group of 18 years old through 24 years old, as well as respondents with incomplete high and high education tend to choose the profession based on their personal preference, while the middle-aged and respondents without the high education usually make their choice depending on the set of circumstances (34 percent). The Russians without the secondary-level education complain about the absence of choice (24 percent).
The poll of All-Russia’s Center for Public Opinion Studies covered 1,600 respondents from 140 settlements in 42 regions of Russia.
