Professions in the arts are prestigious now and sought-after on the labor market, as designer, fashion designer, stylist, artist-maker of decorative-applied works of art. However, in view of the mounting refocusing from professional interests to personal-consumption requests, related to the implementation of the material needs, the first choice of secondary school graduates are professions that have the lowest labor intensity in the presence of a stable payment. The dominant trend is the desire to fulfill their needs in achieving the social and material well-being and prestige.Choosing a profession in the field of art reveals systematic problems, aimed at finding ways to realize human capabilities, taking into account actual and future opportunities.
