What to choose from? The most prestigious and highly paid professions

The question "Where to go to study?" stands before graduates sharply: often, when they enter an educational institution, they do not fully understand what kind of profession they choose. This misunderstanding may persist until graduation.

Unlike Russian schools, students abroad are not only prepared for admission to specific universities, but also carry out serious work on career guidance, identifying their talents and inclinations. Students from foreign schools study a wide range of subjects: from classical civilization and psychology to robotics and the latest business technologies. They can practice rowing or debating, play chess or attend a Shakespeare club.

But it is not enough to enter an interesting specialty - it is important to understand how and where to apply the acquired knowledge. Often, Russian graduates with deep fundamental knowledge do not have enough practice. This leads to the fact that more than half of our graduates by the end of their studies lose interest in learning and work outside their specialty.
