In the 90s of the last century, every second person wanted to become a lawyer or an economist, and then, having no opportunity to find a job in these professions, as there were not enough vacancies, many people were forced to work in the spheres others than they were educated for. I would very much like you to stay in Smolensk region and choose a profession in the spheres of energy, agriculture, education, and medicine, which are in great demand in the region", summed up the Governor.
