Also, improving the work environment and conditions, and the income level achieved by the professional.
In the 1980s, we saw in Egyptian cinema how the 'plumber' or 'pipe fitter' in our language surpassed the doctor and stole his fiancée because he earned a higher income and his profession enabled him to become wealthy.
This was a culture that dominated society for a period, but what prevented its stability as a respected profession was not only the income, but also the absence of a job description for it and the absence of specialized colleges that grant diploma or even university-level certificates.
Today, the market needs new professions. There are entirely new projects in terms of requirements, such as railways, the national carrier, shisha gas, pipelines, and smart cities. All of these will require new professions, but with new specifications in terms of professional, scientific, and technical aspects.
We are calling here for the classification of professions and linking them to academic certificates that the graduate hangs in his shop, just as a doctor or lawyer hangs his certificates on the wall in his office or clinic.
Encouraging young men and women to engage in professional work is not done through slogans, but by raising the academic level of these professions.
