For intellectual jobs people pass the school leaving examination or even study some kind of university. After graduation they become doctors, engineers or professors. The higher education you have, the better salary you usually get. But this does not work automatically. Work in some parts of the economy is paid better, and in others it is worse. Intellectual jobs can be divided into several groups: economic jobs, such as accountants, bankers, economists, various managers; humanistic jobs, such as historians, judges, lawyers, language teachers, philosophers and so on; and natural science jobs, such as architects, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and so on. Art jobs are special kinds of jobs in which people use their imagination and talent. They are painters, sculptors, actors, writers and musicians. There is another special sort of intellectual jobs, for which there is no special education, such as politicians, ministers, senators and of course a president.
There are various types of employment: people can work either in the state sector or in the private sector. The state sector now includes mostly various offices, ministries, courts, schools and also health service. Jobs in state institutions usually are not paid so much but offer stability and guarantee. Or you can work in the private sector, from a small private company up to a big multinational corporation. Work conditions are rougher here. Employers have higher demands for qualifications, skills and hours worked. On the other hand they can offer better salaries or a share in profits. Jobs in foreign banks or insurance and trade companies especially are very well paid.
