My seventeenth column at Modatava.com "PROFESSIONS HAVE TRENDS" (English translation below)
// Modatava.com'daki onyedinci köşe yazım "MESLEKLERİN TRENDLERİ VAR"
http://modatava.com/mesleklerin-trendleri-var-3182
I look at countries generally, half of the populations are working for media, most of other half is human resources and countries are full of jobless people.. I say, “So, the other half is not working for each other”. Then I look at close environment; the people who work in the places we go in the daily life; bank officers, sales people, people producing things on the supermarket shelves.. When I see products, I stare strongly at one group of products; food and baverage. Fruits, vegetables, grains. They are there with so little amount, right? Food is little and there are not so many producers. That’s why food is expensive. The structure of all countries are same. There are no agriculture people! There is no food! The food that exists is expensive! Why there’s no farmer? Why there’s no one doing the most necessary professions??
There is a farming type now - ‘organic farming’ as the talk of the town. How nice there is! Wish it could exist widely.. Wish everyone who have opportunities could do farming..
There’s no need to deny; it’s so obvious. Professions have trends. Determinate professions get popular and youngsters want to have their educations on them after high school. On the other hand, someone with some wealth gets bored sitting at home and jumps to a proffession rising in trends; gets a short education on it or invests in that area without any education. Leave university education aside, the new enterpreneur says “What is certificate? I can handle this myself”. I laugh.
For the last 15 years, all professions around ‘media planet’ are trendy; acting, advertising, journalism, TV, do anything but be seen at TV announcement, directing, singing, playing football.. The second area close to media are secretly rising; fashion designing, jewelry designing, make up designing, hair dressing, accessories designing, investing for second hand shops.. In the third area, there are plastic surgents, dietary and nutrition experts, novel writers..
Also there are professions that are so important, so popular these days and you can’t do without education; construction engineering, food engineering, being pilot, defence ministry, biology, genetical engineering, physics engineering..
I’m not going to follow your expectations, I won’t analyze these professions. I will just say things about the trendy professions around ‘media planet’; why everyone ‘able’ or ‘not able’, ‘good on screen’ or ‘not good on screen’ are on TV? Many furious faces but they disappear in years.. It’s said that there is information pollution in internet, in fact there is face pollution on TV.. I again remember Andy Warhol’s quote, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes".. After that, it is a heartbreak, no income, turning back to the profession that they already had to at the very beginning..
