What’s the most prestigious profession in Ukraine?



Oleksiy Magazeba,
student
“It depends on how high you climb the career ladder in your profession, not which profession you chose. For me, it’s very important that my job brings me a lot of money. I’m interested in programming and photography.”









Serhiy Vash­chenko,
student
“Divers and astronauts. What has been left unexplored in this world? Oceans and space. I major in engineering, because engineers create devices that help to explore the world.”











Tetyana Sushkina,
cleaning lady
“Teacher. It’s the most necessary and respected profession. Many other professions are selfish, but a teacher gives themselves to the students every day.”








Yulia Vladi­mirova,
student
“Econo­mists, those who work in the field of international relations and lawyers. But for sure, not teachers and doctors, which are the most necessary professions. Ukraine has many economic problems so we need many economists to solve them.”









Artem Shevtsev,
actor
“For sure, not acting. In Moscow, my profession has already become very popular, but our businessmen still don’t understand that they can make big money out of it. Politics is a prestigious career path now.”
