iTop10 has just published findings of a survey to analyze which are the careers that give highest job satisfaction. It is indeed very much essential that one achieves job satisfaction in one’s job, whatever it may be, to make one’s life delightful. There are hundreds of hottest job openings out there, but that may not essentially be satisfying for you… In today’s world most of the people, despite enjoying prestigious positions in various top-class organizations, are not fully satisfied with it. The reasons may vary from one individual to another. But the most important question is: ”What career will end this quest for satisfaction / happiness?”
Hottest Job openings also conducted a similar research backend and came out with a strange outcome that Software-related jobs, though are among highly satisfying jobs, still lag behind careers like singing, writing, painting, etc. when it comes to job satisfaction. With due respect to iTop10, here is my own list of the careers considered as the most satisfying:
- Singers & Actors — the most relaxed creatures… Even if their movies / songs are not so popular with people, they still rake in loads of money! Includes cheerleaders too!!
- Authors — Most of the people don’t understand what they write, and hence this community is absolutely safe from being dodged from their jobs…
- Fire fighters — Awesome! Hats off to these guys who make life safe, colourful, delightful & worth living.
- Doctors — great contribution to keeping people healthy.
- Professors — Hmmm. Highly satisfying as long as pupils listen to them!
- Painters and sculptors — Ditto authors. Only they understand what they have created, therefore no competition and hence highly satisfied…
- Software-related
The most fascinating and amazing of all fields… Not any more. People associated with developing software or any related fields are found to be highly satisfied. A possible reason may be the highly addictiveness of this profession. I have taken efforts to further drill down this stream and have listed the software roles based on their satisfaction levels:- Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
- Chief Program Manager
- Project Manager
- Business Analyst
- Software Tester
- Knowledge Manager
- Onshore/Offshore Coordinator
- Team Lead
- Software Developer — the most dreaded community!
- Criminal investigators — making life hell for those on the wrong side of law. Definitely interesting if they themselves are not involved!!!
- Career counselors — Teaching (read, Preaching) is always a pleasure. They may not be sure of where their own career would go, but they would certainly guide others to choose the right path…
- Education administrators — I don’t know if they really do anything!!! :)
