From one single point of view, all modern professions can be divided into two categories - vital and improving the quality of life. When using such a simple classification, the first category includes those professions without which the world would not will withstand the most, even apocalyptic, disasters - doctors (such as surgeons), farmers, fishermen, engineers (who can assemble or disassemble any practically useful devices and apparatus), rescuers, military personnel, etc. But without sales managers, psychologists, accountants, specialists in the tourism industry, specialists in cellular companies and the Internet and other service sector professions, during global economic and political upheavals, the world can completely get by - what is the use of them if you need to think about having food on your table???
