Hi all,

another piece of research from the UK:

`They scrub oily scalps, hold up heavy hairdryers for hours and are forced to feign an interest in your summer holiday plans`. But they love it! Hairdressers are truly happy in their work. The hairdressing profession comes second on the list for job satisfaction, beaten by the role of Chief Executive for a large corporation.

The job satisfaction list is as follows:

1 Corporate Manager
2 Hairdressers
3 Health and Social Services Managers
4 Personal Services Occupations
5 Managers In Retailing
6 Production Managers
7 Managers In other Service Industries
8 Sports and Fitness Occupations
9 Functional Managers
10 Artistic and Literary Occupations

6 of the top 10 were `management related` positions!

Bottom of the list at position 81 was Factory Assemblers.

Anyone fancy becoming an hairdresser?

Do you have to have hair to be a hairdresser for someone?

What causes some people to pursue their career change dreams while others are content to dream? I don't claim to know all the answers but I suspect it's for the pursuit of purpose, the pursuit of job satisfaction. To fulfill the need to belong to something greater than oneself. It is this pursuit that is the foundation of achieving job satisfaction. For instance take the story of Matt Green. A civil engineer by trade, who led walking tours in NYC, left the security of his job to walk 3000 miles from Rockaway Beach, NY to Rockaway Beach, Oregon. He is a30year old Virginia native and has not claimed to do this walk to raise awareness for any cause, it does not even appear that he's promoting a corporate sponsor. He's just walking. Matt says, "...playing it safe, isn't really that safe...if you do that, you miss out on a lot of the great things life has to offer."

Wow I didn't know that hairdressers are satisfied there. I wonder why. Perhaps there's a lot of benefits there.
