Another category of demanded specialties among applicants is various technical branches, including IT technologies, mathematics, geology.
Natural sciences are also popular: chemistry, biology, microbiology, ecology and others. They began to show interest in them due to the popularization of science. But the popularity of such specialties as economics, management and the like, as well as medicine and pedagogy, began to decline. The latter is generally in low demand.

In conclusion, it should be noted that all of the ratings above are generic... They do not consider specific cases of success of individual giant companies, but are aimed at mid-sized professionals. When choosing a profession, you need to be based not only on interest, because assessing your own potential is also important. Simply put, a person must have some inclinations or skills that in the future will help him realize himself in this area.
