UK Accountants Happy With Choice Of Dream Job

Tue, 20 Nov 2007

UK accountants have come out top of a recent job satisfaction survey, carried out by online job portal, TipTopJob.com.

The survey revealed that despite glamorous career choices such as a footballer or food critique the majority of UK workers are content with their job status.

Employees working in five different industry sectors - Engineers, Sales, IT, Construction and Accountancy - were surveyed by the company in order to find out what their dream job would be.

Each sector was given the choice out of film star, footballer, charity worker abroad, doctor, food critique or their current job, with the results showing that surprisingly every sector voted their own industry as preferred job .

Accountants are the most content in their job with a massive 89 per cent choosing Accountancy as their dream job .

In contrast, sales staff are least content, although 21 per cent still chose sales as their dream job comparing to just 15 per cent who would rather be a film star.

The choice of being a footballer was second choice closely followed by charity work abroad, being a film star, a food critique and lastly a doctor .

"The survey results are comforting and dispel the myth that workers are unhappy within their jobs," commented Corinne Dauncey from TipTopJob.com.

"Despite reality television making glamorous jobs more attainable in the eyes of school leavers it is reassuring to discover that there are plenty of UK workers out there who are happy in their jobs which may not pay as much money as a film star but offer stability, regular income and good career prospects."
