These are the 11 jobs that make you the unhappiest
You may not be able to create happiness, but you can give a little direction to your life. Because what you do every day, you determine yourself. And no one else.
With luck I always think: those who try desperately to find it, do not find it. Let it go and enjoy the very small things a bit more. That warm cup of coffee, that roof over your head, the fact that you have the opportunity to read a book, that you live in a prosperous country, that you can see your children play with a block or a book. If you really look at it, with a fresh perspective, you see more. You see again what you all have, instead of what you do not have. And sometimes you have bad luck. Sometimes things don't go your way. But I also believe with luck: you can actively influence your life.
This is called a growth mindset in psychology: that you are convinced that you have control over how happy you are with your life. That you have an influence on it, that you can choose something in your life. And then a job, for example, is a good example: if you don't feel comfortable in your place, feel just not seen, feel that you are using your qualities and strengths very little, then it is time to look further. For a job that does have that for you. Don't think about the opinions of others when looking for a new job: you can never make everyone happy anyway. So please make yourself happy: you are the one who goes to work every day, no one else.
These 11 jobs you should definitely not choose according to happiness researchers, because they make you unhappy. This is evident from research by the University of Chicago, where more than 27,000 people participated:
- Roofer
- Waiter
- Factory worker
- Bartender
- Packer
- Truck loader
- Store employee
- Cashier
