Academician of the Russian Academy of Education (RAO), Head of the Department of Personality Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, Moscow State University MV Lomonosov Alexander Asmolov said that when choosing a profession, one should focus not only on future income, but also on opportunities for personal development. It was reported on the newspaper’s website “News”.
Asmolov emphasized that the choice of profession should be based on the principle of “work for man, not man for work”. He advised school graduates to focus on their interests when choosing a university.
