In-demand professions for men: overview, features and reviews. What professions are there for men?

The topic Men's professions provides us with the opportunity to think about whether we understand this expression correctly or are relying only on stereotypes. Many people believe that this is only the type of work that requires good physical strength, for example, a builder, a loader, a fireman. But there are many professions where it is very difficult to meet women, for example, pilots, machinists, miners.

Male professions in Russia

In principle, as in any other country, in Russia it is possible to identify several types of activities in which men succeed better than women. So, the list of male professions:

• pilots,
• rescuers, firefighters,
• oil workers,
• ship captains, sailors,
• steelworkers, metallurgists,
• foresters, woodcutters,
• miners,
• welders.

As we can see, all of the above professions require increased resistance to stress, the ability to make decisions as quickly as possible, courage, physical strength and endurance. The most in-demand male professions are, of course, electricians, construction workers, concrete workers, masons, high-rise assemblers, industrial climbers, carpenters, stove makers, roofers, crane operators, plumbers, blacksmiths, loaders, all this requires a lot of strength, both physical and moral, these are 100% male working professions. What is the rarest male profession? One can speculate endlessly. Perhaps a hairdresser, a teacher, a cleaner, or maybe a gynecologist. It is important to understand that these above are not purely male professions.

Male and female professions

Of course, there are many industries where both men and women perform equally well. For example, bank workers, marketers, doctors, office managers. It all depends on experience and level of training. The most interesting thing is that in financial industries Most of the people are ladies, chief accountants, their subordinates, and so on. Tax and audit audits are also most often done by women.

The most masculine professions

Definitely, this topic includes aircraft pilots, carriers vehicle, builders and rescuers. It just so happens that it is very difficult to imagine women with a brick or a fire hose in their hands. And thank God that for many years now men and women have not even thought about changing roles, because each copes with theirs flawlessly and gracefully.

Women in male professions

Nowadays, it is no longer very rare to see women driving taxis and minibuses. There is an opinion among many that the best chefs are men, but there are also often female chefs, and there are a lot of female pastry chefs. There are a number of male professions that are very attractive to women - these are bankers, financiers, engineers, doctors, police officers and lawyers. But here there is almost no clear division between male and female professions.

Rare male profession

How often do we see men with scissors in ordinary hairdressing salons? Quite rare. But you can meet them, but usually, male stylists are professionals high level, working in expensive beauty salons, and sometimes with world-famous stars. There is a very fine example of a male stylist - a Cuban of American origin named Oribe, who had the opportunity to work with big amount models, and also with Sharon Stone and Sylvester Stallone. But such male specialists can really be counted on one hand.

Male professions after 9th grade

There is no way to add specifically men's to this section. highly paid professions, since after 9th grade young men can go to earn money in a place that will not require special education. Of course, these are loaders, masons, mechanics, and in some cases drivers, if you have a license. After a little instruction, any young man will be able to take on the above types of work, and in the future decide what he wants from this life. If anything more, then most likely you will have to continue your studies in order to have the opportunity to become a good leader or even the owner of your own business in the future.

What do we understand today by the phrase “male profession”? The fierce battle for gender equality declared by feminists in the last century, and technical progress, thanks to which a lot of previously physically difficult crafts no longer require great strength, blurred the existing framework. However, some specialties still continue to be the privilege of the stronger sex. Shall we consider them?

Some professions are incredibly difficult for women to master

Both into fire and into water

These professions were included in the list primarily because without the qualities traditionally attributed to a man - physical strength, endurance, courage, determination, perseverance - there is nothing to do in them. Of course, in this world there are female bodybuilders, at the sight of whom even Schwarzenegger would turn pale, female martial arts masters and Russian beauties who are ready to stop a galloping horse and shoulder the door into a burning hut. But statistics are an inexorable lady, and she claims that in the specialties listed below, the advantage is definitely not on the side of the fair sex.

Firefighter

Who can cope with dangerous elements if not a Man with a capital M?

This is who can rightfully top the list of the “most-most” male professions! To withstand the most serious loads, to make decisions at lightning speed on which your and other people’s lives depend, to bravely make your way through smoke and flames to where help is needed - not everyone is capable of this. Where are superheroes with their invulnerability and superhuman strength to the fearlessness of these guys in special suits and helmets! They don't need an S on their chest to perform feats.

Miner and oil worker

Hard work and danger make miners heroes

If entering a building engulfed in fire requires special courage, then regularly descending underground, where the daredevil is threatened by collapses and accumulations of methane, requires no less courage. Add to this the need to walk 5-10 km per shift through underground tunnels with a heavy hammer drill on your shoulder, low vaults in which claustrophobia sometimes overtakes people who did not even suspect its existence, hard work, long shifts, coal dust that firmly eats into the skin, and it becomes clear that coal mining is an activity for real men.

It’s not much easier for oil workers working at a well, where already difficult work is accompanied by a permanent risk of oil catching fire or falling from a height. Not to mention the fact that oil workers work on a rotational basis, without seeing their families for months and living in cabins.

Polar explorer

The North does not tolerate weaklings

Since we're talking about watches, how can we not remember the polar explorers? This honorary title is held by people of the most different professions from a builder to an oceanographer, but they have to do their work in the conditions of the far north, among ice, endless snow and severe frosts. The strongest professionals in their field who are not picky about everyday life survive here; a person with a weak soul does not stay in the North. And although you can meet women at polar stations, more often they are wives who selflessly followed their polar explorer husbands to the land of silence, cold and snowy deserts.

Military

Some people's profession is to risk their lives every day.

Is it possible to imagine a cause more worthy of a man than defending his native land with arms in hand? Especially when it comes to such types of troops as paratroopers, submariners, border guards? Difficult preparation, the difficult service and the risks that accompany it leave no room for the weak and indecisive.

It is worth noting: thanks to excellent bearing and an aura of masculinity, the military occupies one of the first places in the list of the sexiest male professions. And for good reason.

Huntsman

The huntsman has his own battles, sometimes very fierce ones

It would seem that a peaceful activity related to nature conservation in nature reserves and national parks, sometimes results in real fighting with poachers. It is no coincidence that full-fledged operational groups are formed from the employees of this service, the members of which are capable of outshining a paratrooper. Dexterity, reaction speed, hardening, ability to handle weapons, the ability to quickly make decisions and clearly implement them - why not special forces? By the way, it is the Reserve Special Forces that they call elite unit security services environment. No joke.

Stuntmen

Someone is just on fire at work

You can take risks not only for the sake of the Motherland and nature, but also for the sake of a spectacular spectacle that will make millions of spectators in cinema halls hold their breath with rapture. No matter how we move forward Computer techologies, it is beyond the power of graphics to oust these guys from their workplace - desperate, physically strong, tireless. They burn, fall from heights, participate in chases and battles, but always remain behind the scenes. Modest workers of the film business, known to a narrow circle of people, they definitely deserve the title of Real Men.

Who should not be frightened by difficulties?

No matter how honorable the work associated with the risk of life and requiring complete dedication, less valiant occupations also made it into the top popular male professions. However... Let's remember “That Same Munchausen”. We won’t say that these specialties are a feat, but there is definitely something heroic in them.

Steelmaker

Inconceivable heat is not a hindrance

Who can tame streams of hot metal without being scared as hell? high temperatures, no pungent fumes, no hard work? Only for a true man! This is one of the most difficult professions in the world, but also one of the most respected. True specialists, possessing not only physical strength, but also knowledge and experience, are worth their weight in gold here.

Blacksmith

Some ancient crafts are still in demand today

Another “lord of metal” whose work requires considerable power and physical health. And this is by no means a dying craft! Masters who have mastered it at a high level rarely sit without orders. But day after day, measuredly swinging a hammer, forcing a piece of hot metal to take intricate shapes is a task for at least direct descendant Ilya Muromets. Applying to become a blacksmith without developed muscles and excellent health is a failure.

Woodcutter

A lumberjack needs great physical strength

Although today lumberjacks much more often wield a chainsaw than an axe, only truly strong, energetic and persistent men can work in this area, capable of handling a heavy tool, climbing a 30-meter pine tree, and mastering a new mechanism - technical progress on not worth the place.

Trucker and agricultural machinery driver

A long-distance truck or a combine harvester is not a passenger car.

Both professions involve driving large-sized machines: a truck weighing several tons, a combine harvester, a tractor, a loader and other heavy units. In all cases, the driver is required to have increased composure, excellent reaction and considerable physical strength. In addition, in both cases, the work is associated with a certain danger, since any negligence for the driver is fraught with very serious consequences.

Working specialties

Good masons are always valuable

Among the representatives of the most popular male professions (masons, roofers, electricians, plumbers, stove makers), there are very few women. Stereotypes are partly to blame for this, but more difficult conditions labor. Moving heavy bricks and beams, enduring heat and cold in a windswept site, working at high altitudes and dealing with high voltage- and all this, day after day, year after year - only truly strong individuals in spirit and body are capable of.

Collector, bailiff

The service may not be noble, but it is necessary

To force a debtor to part with part of his property, it is not necessary to engage in hand-to-hand combat with him, at least if we are talking about a normal collection agency that does not use the methods of the 90s. However, it is necessary to have an impressive appearance, assertiveness and a certain rigidity of character. And although a set of these qualities is sometimes found in modern Amazons, managers still prefer to hire men for such positions. In some ways they are right.

At the mercy of stereotypes

There are specialties that, it seems, do not require a certain degree from the applicant. physical fitness, however, they are still stubbornly classified as purely masculine.

Webmaster

The future definitely belongs to those who have the best computer skills

One of the highest paid male professions does not want to change gender. A clear stereotype that a good master maybe only a representative of the stronger sex, is not going to give up his position in the near future, although there are more and more technically savvy young ladies in this field every year. Let's see what will happen next.

Video: Professions for men and women

About the difference between “purely male” and “female” professions – from the Rabota ru channel:

Behind last decades women have mastered many professions that for centuries were considered the prerogative of men, and have proven that they can achieve impressive heights in them. However, there are still professions in which it is extremely difficult for the fair sex to succeed. Is it worth breaking this situation and rushing to make a career in a “foreign” field: for a woman - in the Far North, in a fire department and driving a truck, and for a man - as a teacher in kindergarten, a nurse or a visiting cleaner? Everyone decides this for themselves. The main thing is that you like the chosen activity and that it suits your strengths and abilities, and whether it is male or female is a secondary matter.

GYNECOLOGIST

A mystery of nature: why do men understand female physiology better than women themselves? It’s not even a matter of love for a woman (a professional gynecologist, most likely, does not suffer from this) and not a matter of firmness of hands, but… curiosity: “what is that inside her?” How after so many women in gynecological chairs male gynecologists can have sex - history is silent.

PILOT
Mikhalkov’s character Vova once categorically stated: “And Leva’s mother is a cook. Mom is a pilot? What’s wrong?” A female pilot is a rarity. Throwing a car into a steep dive or doing a loop are exclusively male jokes. However, Vova, the profession of “cook” also has little to do with mothers...

COOK
The best chefs are men. This is a scientifically proven fact. They say that men (experimenters in life) approach the cooking process creatively, which is why their dishes are tastier and more interesting. They simply cannot turn out to be “average”, since they are either masterpieces, or... THIS goes down the toilet.

ASTRONAUT
In Soviet times, all boys dreamed of being cosmonauts. "Like Gagarin and Titov." To shout “Let's go!”, to walk on the moon in a fashionable silver helmet, fly around a ship in zero gravity and eat sausage from tubes. True, today's boys dream of being bankers...

FIREFIGHTER
How can one not remember Uncle Styopa! (Mikhalkov Sr. is simply the highlight of the program today.) Although history also remembers women entering burning huts. But since no one except Nekrasov saw this desperate woman, we suggest not to think about her anymore. But everyone saw the valiant guys, happily driving around in a red car with flashing lights and loud (albeit monotonous) music.

MINER
Hard, backbreaking work, which is beyond the strength of wimps! These heroes with jackhammers only sometimes knock their helmets on the Moscow asphalt, the rest of the time they are in the face (not to be confused with a binge!) - beautiful, big, black (in the sense of being smeared with coal) men, risking their lives for the sake of warmth in our homes! And some fake men (let’s not point fingers) then take away this warmth from us!

OIL MAN
Another dirty job, worthy of patriotic paintings and sculptures in the genre of "girls with an oar". Black gold miners are our pride and our answer to Hussein! Supermen! Try to imagine women in the place of these heroes - you are unlikely to succeed. Although it is possible women's bodies drenched in oil would look very sexy...

BUTCHER
Hunting for meat is very masculine. Moreover, if my memory serves me right, this is exactly where it all began for people. Nowadays, to get meat, you just need to go to the market. Nevertheless, men are still engaged in meat production and butchering. Call of nature.
SHOE CLEANER
Whoever says that this is a profession for women, let him throw a stone at me. Have you ever seen them doing this? That's it. But to be completely honest, it should be noted that mostly boys do shoe cleaning. Those. men on early stage development. They will grow up and understand that this is not a master’s business.

AUTO MECHANIC
A woman lying under a car, as well as a woman changing a tire BY MYSELF, no one in real life did not see. Is it only in nightmare. Moreover, what is typical: how to drive a car - they are for gender equality, but how to spend half a day in a garage, they do not understand anything “about all these terrible wiring”!

10 most unmasculine professions

ROAD WORKER (in an orange vest).
Women's response male gynecologists. They took away our right to walk on the roads in orange vests and are not giving it back! They lay asphalt and tinker with tram rails. So that's why we have these bad roads! Trust the women with the responsible task!

NIGHT WATCHMAN
This is the exclusive responsibility of old women - God's dandelions. And who else should be thrown into such a dangerous task - to protect the facility from robbers and hooligans? Any granny, from the height of her life experience, will immediately give everyone a worthy rebuff!

NANNY
One of the heroes Soviet films I once tried to take on such responsibility. Nothing good came of this. Keeping an eye on a bunch of snotty kids, washing pots after them and stuffing porridge into their mouths is a feminine thing. And how do they do this if we can’t even keep track of one (our own offspring)?

TROLLEYBUS DRIVER
Wonderful profession! Proud and beautiful. You sit, looking down at the passing cars (you can also stick your tongue out at them), use a special button to open and close the doors (you can periodically squeeze passengers you don’t like), announce stops into the microphone (you can read obscene poems) - beauty!!!

GIGOLO
Taking money from women is low and undignified. Well, maybe just once. And for a very good reason. And if this becomes part of the system and becomes a way of life, this type is not worthy to bear the proud title of a man! Get him out of our ranks.

CLEANING WOMAN
We tried to find a masculine analogue for the name of this profession... Nothing came of it. “Cleaner” is something completely different. More sublime. Hence the conclusion - this is an exclusively female responsibility - buckets, mops, rags... Of course, those who are more advanced can use all sorts of fashionable powders and gels of the Domestos system and brand new imported self-squeezing mops...

HOUSEMAID
The same nonsense with semantics - this is the first thing. Secondly, “maid” is not even really a profession, it’s already a kind of erotic image. (This refers to a beauty in a short dress and a white apron with a lace clip in her hair, who is charged with not only changing bed linen, but also...)

DANCER
No, of course there are great dancers! But, firstly, they all died out at the same time as the “Russian Seasons”, and, secondly... calling all of them “men” is a very big stretch. Moreover, if we're talking about not about just dancers, say, ballet (although everything is not easy there...), but about strippers, for example...

FLIGHT ATTENDANT
A flight attendant is also a very feminine profession. Soda and candy during the flight, demonstration of life jackets with a whistle - not a single man can master this science, and if he tries, he does it very clumsily. Well, besides, this is a rather risky profession. What if the plane starts falling? We men still have many important things to do in this life.

MEN'S MAGAZINE STAFF
We'll open it for you a big secret: There are more women in our team than men. They all pretend to be smart, knowledgeable male psychology, sometimes they write articles based on these unproven facts on behalf of a man and under a man’s surname! (Which, in fact, is what I’m doing now...)

Almost every modern representative of the stronger sex tries to find himself an interesting, and most importantly, highly paid occupation. Professions in demand for men require high qualifications and the presence of some unusual skills. Today knowledge in English or owning a computer won’t surprise anyone anymore.

In order to find Good work and move up career ladder, you need to have skills and abilities that are attractive to an employer.

Specifics of classes

Although the division of professions into male and female has long gone out of fashion, the border nevertheless remains noticeable. The stronger sex strives to occupy positions that require physical strength and/or specific qualities. This refers to stress resistance, courage, quick acceptance important decisions, determination, etc.

Of course, there are women who have all these qualities and you can meet a brave and ambitious lady who is ready to do anything for her goal, but, unfortunately or fortunately, there are not so many such ladies. It is for this reason that there are, so to speak, the “most masculine” professions, such as oil workers, firefighters, rescuers or airplane pilots. Therefore, no one is going to completely erase gender differences, and there is no point in doing so.

So, let's look at the list of male professions, which includes the most popular areas for the stronger sex. The list is firmly entrenched in the top list of private (but not municipal) employment agencies and has been in place for almost five years now. There are no drastic changes on the horizon, so you can safely master one of the activities described below.

The list of male professions (the most popular areas) is as follows:

• Computer specialists.
• Bank employees.
• Advocates/Lawyers.
• SMM agents.
• Architects.
• Managers.
• Medical workers.
• Sales specialists.

Let's look at each direction in more detail.

Computer specialists

If you ask a woman the question: “What male professions do you know?”, then probably after the list of firefighters and police officers you will hear - computer engineer. This is quite a promising direction for the stronger sex, especially for those who are interested in this huge modern IT world, as well as everything connected with it.

In this area you can also meet women - in the role of administrators or programmers, but the vast majority of workers are still men. The former feel no worse in this area, but, judging by research, men are given such knowledge much easier.

Bank employees

Here, many women will probably object, and in many ways they will be right. Yes, no matter what bank you go to, you will be greeted by the friendly smile of a sweet girl at the operator’s desk. But in the banking sector you can find purely male professions that women try to avoid.

We are talking about financial analysts, credit experts and some kind of control services. Workers of this type are in great demand not only in banks, but also in investment companies. For the stronger half it is great choice, if you want to show your strong-willed qualities, keeping a cool mind and calm during the next crisis.

Lawyers/Lawyers

To become a good lawyer or lawyer, you need to study long and hard, mastering the skill of this delicate but extremely profitable business. The demand for intelligent specialists in this field is always great, because we all, to a greater or lesser extent, violate the law, negotiate with someone, sell, buy... And in this case, the legal support of a professional will come in handy.

A competent lawyer can help with any legal problem, from parking tickets to criminal cases. This direction is considered a male profession also because the stronger half is more meticulous in such things and is ready to understand all the intricacies of the problem and defend their opinion in the courtroom with due tenacity.

SSM agents

This direction has a bit in common with computer topics, but has its own distinctive features. Here we are talking about those people who are closely involved in promoting some products or resources in in social networks.

Almost everything large companies and enterprises are represented on the Internet, so an employee of such a plan will be indispensable for the advertising department. Several years ago, no one knew about this male profession, but recently there has been a very high demand for this area. The contingent here is predominantly male, but with rare exceptions there are also women who are not afraid to learn something new and embark on experiments.

Architects

Construction, engineering and architecture have always been considered male professions. Here, in addition to physical strength, a special mindset is also required. Of course, you can meet women among architects, but judging by surveys, a good half of the fair sex considers this area unworthy of their attention.

The profession of an architect is in great demand today: shopping centers, multi-storey offices, hotel complexes and other serious buildings. In addition, agencies note a demand for the junior architectural class - assistant engineers, designers and other qualified specialists.

Managers

The manager is broad concept, but it doesn't mean much characteristic features. The main thing is natural acumen, which will help a man cope with a large or small team and lead the enterprise to great achievements.

Not so much is required here higher education and knowledge of some specific skills, as well as the ability to organize correct work one or another group of people. Sometimes it's enough special courses and training to start leading. Naturally, narrowly focused activities require a thorough study of the subject, and “ strong hand The manager will be powerless due to ignorance of theory and practice.

Medical workers

The profession of a doctor was, is and will continue to be very, very relevant. for a long time. Masculinity especially relevant to areas such as surgery, dentistry and psychology. Here the representatives of the stronger sex reveal themselves especially well. Although in other areas, such as gynecology and therapy, there are outstanding male luminaries.

It is believed that men are more focused and reserved regarding medical issues. Numerous studies have also shown that male doctors are much better at calming patients than women. This caused great bewilderment among the latter, since maternal instincts were subject to doubt, but the fact remains a fact.

Sales specialists

This means not only high-level managers who sell and buy companies, but also ordinary sales representatives. Men in this area are helped by natural determination, ambition and determination.

In addition, being a sales specialist is a very difficult, stressful and responsible work. Not every lady is capable of driving for hours and then immediately solving some serious issues. That is why among professional sales representatives so few women.

Someone may object and say: what about Faberlic, Avon and other venerable brands? But here we are dealing with the measured sale of cosmetics, where the main circle of consumers, whatever one may say, is built through friends and acquaintances, with whom there is no need to conflict, but simply to offer the product, as they say, at random.

All professions from this list certainly cannot be called “masculine” or masculine. But even in such professions you can often see men who are truly satisfied with their work. Yesterday we already saw, and today let's learn about the most unmasculine professions.

Night watchman:
This best job for old grandmothers. Who else but grandma and her life experience will it give support to robbers and hooligans?

Nanny:
Keeping an eye on a bunch of kids, washing the pots after them and persuading them to eat at least a spoonful of porridge is a purely woman’s job.

Road worker:
More and more often you can see women wearing orange vests on the road. They lay asphalt and tinker with the rails. The work is difficult, but women do it well.

Gigolo:
It is unworthy for a man to take money from a woman. Especially systematically, making it a way of life. It’s hard to even call it a profession.

Trolleybus driver:
Great profession! You can look down on expensive cars passing by, feeling “on top.”

Housemaid:
When you hear the word “maid,” you immediately imagine sexy girl, in a short dress with a white apron. The man somehow doesn’t fit into this profession at all.

Cleaning woman:
It’s even difficult to find a masculine equivalent for this profession. The cleaner is something else. There is only one conclusion - buckets, rags and mops are exclusively women's responsibility.

Board conductor:
The flight attendant is also very strict female profession. No, of course, there are men who have taken on the responsibility of demonstrating life jackets and delivering coffee on board. But it turns out somehow not as beautiful for them as for women.

Dancer:
There are undoubtedly great dancers. But somehow, male dancers, especially if we are not talking about ballet, for example, do not want to be called men with a capital M.

Men's magazine contributor:
As a rule, in publishing houses the majority of the team is made up of the female half of humanity. Often it is women who write columns for men, and on behalf of men.
