Rare Professions

Many believe that rare occupations are sure toshould be unusual and even exotic - a penguin turner, for example. But this opinion is largely erroneous: there are rare professions that, if associated with exotics or romance, are extremely mediated. Why do they then become rare?

Some rare professions require special skills, even talent. For example, in the field of perfumery, such a profession as sniff. This person estimates the flavors and makes upown perfume compositions. Agree, some knowledge acquired during studies, there is little - you need a very subtle scent (as here do not recall the Syuskin "Perfume").

Another example of a rare profession is fumelier. This person picks up for his clientscigars and alcoholic beverages. Foumelier should not only separately understand the types of alcohol and cigars, but also choose the perfect combination of them, based on the individual characteristics of the client. Also, these rare professions include such professions as cavil (specialist in wines), titester (professional tea taster), torso (specialist in twisting cigars). So it's rare to become professions that can not be taught if a person does not initially have certain data.

There are rare professions that are very narrow specialization within a wider. Usually such professions are not taught in universities: to acquire a profession, you need to get an additional education after graduating from university. Many people do not even suspect that such rare professions exist because they are accustomed to think in more general categories: a lawyer, an economist, a doctor ... But these are, in fact, the names of not even professions, but spheres of activity.

For example, a rare profession among doctors is a radiosurgeon and an epidemiologist-cartographer. Radiologist makes operations with the help of "cyberknife". A special beam device called CyberKnife makes the radiation beam impact on the tumor strictly directed. This method of treating cancer is promising enough, so it is not surprising that the need for radiosurgeons who are able to handle the "cyberknife" is growing. A profession epidemiologist-cartographer is at the junction of medicine and technology. This specialist creates maps of epidemics and tries to predict where new outbreaks will occur.

Some rare professions are thoseOnly here. In the West, they have become accustomed and widespread for a long time, and they came to us with the introduction of a Western business model in some firms, so for us these professions are new and so far rare. These include, for example, actuary and underwriter (insurance specialist), usability specialist (expert in the evaluation of user interfaces), creative manager (expert in the development of concepts for advertising projects), speechwriter (a specialist in writing speeches, reports and other texts of public speeches) and many others.

And there are rare professions that have become rare, because the need for them disappears. Chimney sweeper, for example, there are very few houses with fireplaces and pipes, so there are not so many chimney sweeps in the world, but they still exist. Or blower - now fur-tree toys and glass knick-knacksfaster and cheaper to produce in factories, and handmade glassware is expensive, although beautiful. So some rare professions are victims of unavoidable progress.

Some rare professions are dangerous, and therefore rare: few will agree to risk their lives for the sake of calling. For example, stringer - freelance correspondent, working mainly in extreme conditions (hot spots, places of mass riots and natural disasters, etc.).

So rare professions can be rare indifferent reasons. Some of them are too new, and some, on the contrary, are too old; in some professions one should not try oneself if there are no corresponding abilities and talents, and some are so narrowly specialized that you first need to get a more general specialization. But the labor market is constantly developing, and rare professions today will become common tomorrow. So if you want to try yourself in one of them, it makes sense to start right now to have time to take your niche.
