“When I entered this particular university faculty, I did not represent them Career prospects what would I have, it seems amazing to me where I ended up, says Christina Dry “K”., creative copywriter in an advertising agency. Mrs. Dry studied at the Faculty of Communication, Media and Culture at the University of Panteillon, but life led her to a profession little known to many, but with great professional demand.

“Non-obvious” may be another characteristic of an “unknown” profession, given that most 18-year-old applicants are locked into the traditional stereotypical associations of departments with specific occupations. For example, a graduate of the philological faculty will get to school, a lawyer to the court, a civil engineer for construction, a mechanical engineer for the design of air conditioning cabinets and their installation. “There are many professions that are in demand, but not known to many”, – says Eleni Alpanidu “K”.Orientum Career Consultant.

“Competitive field”

For example, a copywriter, like Miss Dry, works in the field of advertising and marketing, writes texts with attractive content in order to promote a product or service. Therefore, he takes up writing advertising texts for TV or radio commercials, websites, articles, letterheads, press releases and other things. “Life took me a little in that direction. I have been working in this field for two years now, most of the positions are filled by word of mouth among people in the industry. I believe that it is premature for a candidate at 18 to think that he will be pursuing a profession that is directly related to his field of study. Most of my teachers are in public relations and service delivery,” says Mrs. Dry. “I decided what I would do professionally with friction after graduation. My field has a future, needs talent and is competitive,” he adds.

“Now social media plays a big role in our daily lives, so it will affect many professions.”

The fact that the professions of the future are hidden behind “saturated” scientific objects is confirmed by history. Simos Cosmetatu. He is a graduate of the Faculty of Communications, Media and Culture of the Panteillon University, like Christina Dry, but got into digital marketing, after a course in which he worked as a journalist, in the commercial department of business, in the department of public relations and even the call center (unemployment and part-time employment in the clothing industry). “I worked about ten jobs until I established myself. When I was in school, there was no … now, that is, what I no longer do. At the time, we didn’t know what kind of career we could choose, other than the traditional ones, of course. What got me into digital marketing was the work I did. Now social networks play a big role in our daily life, so they will affect many professions.”

In science, technology, economics and information technology – primarily in areas focused on innovation – there are also many career opportunities with great prospects. An illustrative case is Thanasis Balomenos. His professional title is Business Intelligence Analyst and “is a person who has studied information technology, mathematics or any financial industry, knows about information technology and tries to collect numerical data and figures in an understandable way for people involved in business.” , For example he himself describes in “K”. Mr. Balomenos received his first degree from the Faculty of Informatics and Telecommunications of the University of Athens, then he continued his postgraduate studies in bioinformatics. “It was then that I realized that the best way to convey a message is to use a figure or a graph. I’m interested in the visualization of numbers. So my partner and I created a company that draws conclusions from the data and then visualizes them,” says Mr. Balomenos, emphasizing that “the sector is now consolidating, it is not so defined, now companies are creating such positions.”

“It changed my life”

“Nanotechnology is the science of synthesizing, characterizing and applying materials at the nanoscale,” says the 25-year-old Mikaela-Akatis Panteleoutrying to explain the science he follows. She graduated in Materials Science from the University of Crete, lives in Paros, works in a grocery store and plans to take two distance learning programs in chemical and biomolecular analysis and nanomedicine. “I have been interested in nanotechnology since high school. Then I read a text about the professions of the future, among which were nanotechnologies. I really liked it, and since then I clearly understood who I want to be. I read the text and it changed my life.”

When does computer science intersect with linguistics?

A diploma in several faculties leads to modern professions with significant prospects. It is enough for a candidate of the Panhellenic University, when choosing an educational institution and applying for a computerized report, to think outside … the framework of traditional professions. Indicative are some examples of occupations and professions without an “obvious” correlation, as evidenced by a study by Eleni Alpanidu, a career consultant at Orientum.

• 1st scientific area the humanities are usually identified with the professions of a lawyer, philologist, psychologist, etc. However, its graduates could go to professions that require a good knowledge of the language, critical thinking, language and communication skills. For example, a public relations specialist as a person in charge of the organization’s brand image, coordinates with the media, conducts public relations campaigns such as interviews, press releases, events and conferences, and much more. On the other hand, a social media specialist creates content that engages the audience and manages their presence on various social media platforms. Also, graduates of theoretical sciences (for example, philology) can be employed in the demanded field of IT and new technologies. A computational linguist is a scientific field in which linguistics meets computer science and integrates linguistic capabilities into computational applications that are used in information and communication technology systems, such as smart keyboards in mobile phones, voice search engines, and engineering application translation tools. like Google Translate and many others. Also, the e-learning developer is responsible for the creation and development of digital content for educational programs and continuous learning systems.

• IN 2nd field, positive research, degrees in physics or chemistry, can lead to the profession of materials scientist, which combines cutting-edge fields such as nanotechnology, with which it develops innovative materials on a very small scale, which, due to their tiny size and their properties, can used in the automotive industry, aeronautics, clothing, healthcare, energy, etc. In addition, biostatistics is a discipline that applies statistical processes and methods to collect, analyze and interpret data related to human biology, health and medicine. At the same time, robotics combined with new technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, etc., applied in so-called smart factories, are among the topics that the new generation of engineers will be engaged in. deal with .

A new generation of engineers may be pursuing robotics in combination with technologies such as artificial intelligence.

• 3rd scientific direction (health) is chosen by candidates interested in medicine, pharmacy, nutrition, biology, etc. Some alternatives are geriatrician and geriatrician, biotechnologist, toxicologist and neuroscientist.

• From 4th field economic schools, you can become an accountant, financial consultant, marketing manager… and more. The rapid technological development, as well as the interdisciplinarity that characterizes the era, require the cooperation of many and diverse sciences and lead us to new specializations, such as: a blockchain engineer is responsible for the design, development and maintenance of a blockchain, a decentralized distributed system that stores data and transactions generated by in her. A blockchain engineer uses his knowledge of cryptographic algorithms, data security, and distributed systems management to create and manage a blockchain. An e-commerce specialist is responsible for developing and improving the online sales of a commercial website.
