We’ll let you know right away that the rating was prepared on the basis of official statistics from the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population Russian Federation for 6 months of this year and contains only vacant positions.

The reason is that among those represented there are no consistently staffed specialties related to finance, bureaucracy, energy resource extraction, or service in law enforcement agencies.
Rating
1 - captain of an ocean liner
The ranking of highly paid professions is headed by the captain of a civil ocean-going merchant ship - the average monthly salary wages is about 500 thousand rubles.
The demand from potential employers is impressive. Why is it the most popular? There are several determining factors:
- Less than 10 educational institutions throughout the country provide training for seafarers. Most train naval specialists
- the requirements for men who want to master the best of the top highly paid professions are extremely high: the availability of the necessary personal qualities, physical endurance, moral stability, sailing experience
- high rates of shipbuilding, commissioning of new ships
The following fact is even more surprising: maritime personnel are needed almost everywhere. Just look, for example, at the list of in-demand professions in Australia.
2 – aircraft commander
The second place in the top 10 list of highly paid professions in Russia is confidently occupied by another representative of the Russian transport industry - air travel.
The specialty of an aircraft commander (average salary of 320 thousand rubles) turned out to be in demand due to an acute shortage of personnel.
Many experts explain this fact by the massive transition of Russian pilots to work for Chinese aviation companies. However, the forecast for 2018 is that the outflow will stop, the position will no longer be included in the list of in-demand professions.
3 – chief technologist of the gold mining industry
The top three winners in the ranking of the highest paid professions in Russia are closed by the chief technologist of the gold mining industry (average monthly salary 312 thousand rubles).
According to many analysts, soon the “palm” in the demand for specialists among the extractive industries will once again return to the oil industry. Reason: launch large-scale projects in the vastness of Siberia and the Far East.
Therefore, when looking through the review of the most in-demand professions of 2018, do not be surprised if you see the position of head of an oil production site somewhere in the Primorsky Territory, Yakutia.
4 – head hockey coach
Why was the head coach of the hockey team among the top 10? Let's name a few reasons:
- Hockey, along with football, are popular sports. About 65 thousand people play hockey in our country, the fifth world figure (ahead are Canada, the USA, the Czech Republic, Sweden), the number of amateur hockey players goes beyond reasonable limits
- the number of officially registered teams, including women's, youth, children's and youth teams, exceeds three hundred
- Only 12 universities train coaching staff, 4 are specialized in hockey (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Omsk, Chelyabinsk)
- Even the clubs of the most elite Russian league, the Continental Hockey League, carry out a huge rotation of coaching staff. Based on the results of the 2016–2017 season alone, 20 new specialists were recruited to work as head coaches (a total of 27 teams compete)
- The average salary of the head coach of a hockey team is high - 300 thousand rubles.
5 – construction site manager
The most in-demand profession in construction is site manager. Across the country, there has been a steady decline in the volume of new development by 10–15%, however, the influx of young personnel continues.
Therefore, many experts predict a reduction in demand for the specialty. The expected result is that the ranking of the highest paid professions 2018 will be without representatives of this industry.
We've reached the middle of the rankings! But all of the above-mentioned in-demand professions in 2018 in Russia are more suitable for men. Where are the high-paying professions for girls? Go ahead…
6 – dentist
The position of a doctor, suitable for representatives of the fair half of humanity, was in the sixth position of the top ones. The average salary of a dentist in Russia is about 200 thousand rubles.

7 – risk manager
The list continues with a new specialty that originated in America, and subsequently received widespread Worldwide.
The main tasks of a risk manager are strategic management of the company, identifying potential dangers of doing business, identifying and analyzing existing risks.
It is not easy to train a specialist of such a wide range, so there is unlikely to be an appropriate area of training in Russian universities. However, the work is interesting and highly paid, salaries are about 200 thousand rubles.
8 – electrical engineer
What “domestic” professions will be in demand in Russia in 2018-2025? “Our national” specialty – electrical engineer – is in eighth position in the ranking!
The truth remains a mystery how the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection calculated the average size wages (195 thousand rubles)?
9 – analyst in the field of information science and computer technology
The Russian labor market is full of vacancies in the field of computer science and computer technology. Which profession is the most profitable among them: programmer, web designer, database administrator? The answer is simple - analyst, average salary - 195 thousand rubles.
10 – co-pilot of the aircraft

The second ten ranking of the most popular specialties are: architects, design engineers, pharmaceutical chemists, marketers, PR managers, ecologists, IT specialists, tourism industry workers, therapists, logisticians.
Conclusion
The specialty of psychology, so beloved by many applicants, is not on the list.

THE MOST IN-DEMAND PROFESSIONS IN RUSSIA IN 2015
Top 10 areas in the labor market that were in greatest demand from employers:
IT specialist
The most in demand now are professionals in the field of information technology. The need for such personnel exceeds all conceivable and inconceivable limits. Thousands of companies need system administrators, developers, programmers and web programmers. And given the degree of development of this area, the demand for IT specialists will only grow every year.
Design engineer
Specialists construction industry are in great demand on the labor market like no other. Taking into account the high-speed pace and amazing scale of current and planned construction projects, as well as the relatively low passing score for technical specialties, mastering this promising profession is available to the vast majority of those interested. Architects and designers are no less in demand in this industry.
Teacher
There has traditionally been a shortage of teaching staff in the area. Schools continue to find it difficult to find qualified and talented teachers. But there is hope that in the future, subject to a revision of the wages of educators and the very structure of educational institutions, this profession will become not only in demand, but also popular among young people.
Lawyer, policeman
Lawyers are in high demand on the labor market, but they need serious experience, which only comes with age. This is, so to speak, work for the future. Professionals with a legal education are needed in almost any organization. The profession of a police officer is also gaining popularity. This is due to the increase in wages and the recently carried out reforms in the field of law and order.
Medic
Despite the fact that in the recent past the medical profession was not particularly popular, now there is an urgent need for truly professional medical workers. At the same time, specialists of a narrow profile are especially in demand: nutritionists, speech therapists, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists. But there is a clear shortage of doctors, as well as teachers, and this industry will gladly welcome a specialist of any profile. Surgeons, traumatologists and dentists remain the highest paid.
Marketer, logistician
Marketers are needed in almost every field of activity. The market, oversaturated with goods and services, requires competent professionals, of whom there are very few now. These specialists are called upon to monitor the market and predict what products or services are currently needed. Logistics and customs workers are no less in demand. These relatively young activities are only gaining momentum every year.
Personnel specialist
Extension staffing, an increase in the size of the organization and, accordingly, an increase in the staff of employees who need to be selected, tested, and concluded employment and other contracts with them, leads to a high demand for personnel workers in each organization.
Professional worker
Here we're talking about about qualified machinists, mechanics, electricians, welders, for whom there has been a constant demand in recent years. And it's not a joke. The development of industrial and mining complexes requires truly professional hands. Not everyone is capable of accomplishing what modern design engineers draw and design. The scope of servicing existing machines is also wide.
Beauty industry specialist
Stylists, makeup artists, and hairdressers are especially needed due to the rapid growth in the number of beauty salons and, in fact, the demand for beauty itself.
In recent years, the profession of ecologist has become in demand. And this is connected, first of all, with, to put it mildly, the environmental situation in Russia and in the world as a whole that leaves much to be desired.
WHAT PROFESSIONS WILL BE IN DEMAND IN THE NEAR FUTURE?
Experts believe that in the near future engineers will remain the most in demand, technical specialists and production managers. Physicians, chemists and biologists will also be required. Nano- and biotechnologies will not stand still, so specialists in these areas will become necessary.
High technologies have not only become a part of our lives; it is difficult to imagine even one day without them. So in the future, professional IT specialists, programmers and computer software developers will be required.
Every year, the tourism sector of the economy and the hotel business are increasingly developing, which means that studying in these specialties in the present can bring good income in the future.
Experts also believe that there will be a demand for quality service and service professionals will be in demand. Finally, protection issues are pressing issues around the world environment, which means environmentalists will be needed.
This is the situation in Russia as a whole. But among other things, you should never forget that true professionals in their field will always be needed, regardless of specialty and industry.
