The most unsatisfying job

In contrast, people are less satisfied in jobs with more controls, less freedom, and more pressure of responsibilities. Security guards, hotel staff, salespeople, and survey interviewers are among the unsatisfying jobs.

No satisfaction with money, respect

Another interesting thing revealed in the study is that job prestige or high salary does not satisfy many people. True happiness comes from a sense of accomplishment.
