Do you love your job?

Survey Reveals Most Satisfying Jobs

Here are the Top 10 most gratifying jobs and the percentage of subjects who said they were very satisfied with the job:

  • Clergy—87 percent percent
  • Firefighters—80 percent percent
  • Physical therapists—78 percent percent
  • Authors—74 percent
  • Special education teachers—70 percent
  • Teachers—69 percent
  • Education administrators—68 percent
  • Painters and sculptors—67 percent
  • Psychologists—67 percent
  • Security and financial services salespersons—65 percent
  • Operating engineers—64 percent
  • Office supervisors—61 percent

Here are the 10 least gratifying jobs, where few participants reported being very satisfied:

  • Laborers, except construction—21 percent
  • Apparel clothing salespersons—24 percent
  • Handpackers and packagers—24 percent
  • Food preparers—24 percent
  • Roofers—25 percent
  • Cashiers—25 percent
  • Furniture and home-furnishing salespersons—25 percent
  • Bartenders—26 percent
  • Freight, stock and material handlers—26 percent
  • Waiters and servers—27 percent

Kinda surprised that bartenders were on the bottom ten. I guess IT falls in between the two. I wouldn't trade my job for any of those in the top ten. What about Victoria's Secret photographers? That's gotta be one of the most satisfying jobs!
