Jobs & Careers (Fall 2008)

Everyone has an opinion about the 'chinovnik' - the Russian civil servant. But what do they say about themselves? For the fall edition of Jobs and Careers we spoke to two civil servants. They're young, hard-working and ambitious. And according to one of Russia's top captains of industry, they'd be far better advised to go into business. "There are young people who go to work in state service right after graduation," said billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov in a recent speech to students at his alma mater, the state Financial Academy. "I recommend that you only go into business. Only there will you find drive and real life." So why is it that so many young people, against his advice, are still trying to make a career in the civil service and what are the prospects? And is it something they'd recommend to other young people looking for a high-flying career?
