...those jobs either. Or why not set up your own business? There's no shortage of people willing to lend you money. (But watch out for those extortionists.) Tatiana Bildyug, to take but one example, is in her early 20s and switched from accountant at a uranium-processing factory to development director of a shopping mall. The pay's not much better, but the job is a lot more dynamic and fun, she says. That sort of career move is typical of this generation, the first truly post-Soviet Russians.
