Considering the extremely wide field of activity, many models of employment in the field of multimedia and computer graphics are possible, from independent performance on the global market to working in teams, independent companies, production and television companies, radio stations, marketing agencies, film studios, any other forms of employment related to the acquisition, production and post-production of digital video forms (images and sound), computer animation, Brand Design, Color Grading or creation of special effects, up to independent work or work in teams on the development of all forms of WEB forms and any form of multimedia digital visual communication in general.

According to the records of the Employment Service of the Republic of Srpska, there are almost no professionals in the field of graphic design and computer multimedia unemployed.

According to research by the American Bureau of Employment, the IT sector is at the top of the list of the most sought-after and most attractive occupations today, and all indicators show that it will retain that position in the future. According to this research, "traditional" professions in the IT sector, such as system administrators, programmers, WEB administrators and analysts, still maintain a strong position, but today new professions are emerging in other directions in the field of information technology, which are developing intensively and for which the demand is growing exponentially. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics lists these occupations:

• 3D animation expert
• Producer of audio and video content
• Expert in digital film production
• Environmental simulation development expert
• Computer video game developer
• Bioinformatics expert
• Expert in medical modeling
• Network administrator
• Software development expert
• Internet entrepreneur

It must be emphasized that in the field of multimedia and graphic design there are great opportunities for work and earnings in the form of "outsourcing". The essence of this modern way of working is that jobs and tasks are downloaded via the Internet, and work results are sent in the same way. The possibility of such work in the domain of computer multimedia and graphics is greater than outsourcing work on programming or other applications of information technology. The world market in the field of multimedia and graphic design is huge, with a far greater demand for professional and creative work than the current offer provided by experts - residents in those countries.

The problem is that works in this field require high knowledge acquired through studies at the higher education level, significant skills in the use of various software tools in the field of multimedia and computer graphics, which are acquired through the practical part of the studies, but also through work experience and possessing a critical mass of innovation and creativity. There are huge advantages of this way of working, because young and talented experts can work in their own working environment, without leaving their local communities and without traveling abroad, while generating enough income for a quality life and family financing. This significantly contributes to reducing the "brain drain" and partially solves the issue of unemployment.

Particularly noteworthy are the employment opportunities in the field of providing audiovisual media services for television and radio stations and broadcasters in the RS, respectively. Bosnia and Herzegovina, which need educated and professional staff for quality business.
