The statistical sampling error (with a probability of 0.95) hasn’t exceeded 1, 98 %.

It was found out that the social and status expectations of adolescent youth mainly relate to managerial activity, business, entrepreneurship and managerial activity of medium and high levels of management, and, in the opinion of interviewed respondents, they are personal qualities («soft skills»), that should be considered the most important proffecional skills.
