In addition, it is noted that the motive for choosing a profession is influenced by studying at a higher educational establishment, that is, the direct influence of the teachers; in addition, the professional vocation, the professional intentions, the need for activity, and the value orientations in the profession play an important role. A review of the articles by domestic and foreign authors on the problem raised was made. It turned out that the number of studies on this issue is not numerous.

It is noted that the researchers determine the main 4 criteria that contribute to the choice of profession: the desire to pursue a professional career, the desire to help another person, the appetence to the risks, danger, and receiving a high stable salary. In addition, 4 main factors that affect the professional growth of a rescuer were identified: the attitude, the capacity for knowledge, the inspiration, and the environment.
