If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!

BBC piece on how happy people in various jobs report themselves to be.

I moved from the 43rd to the 47th (out of 274) happiest jobs - more fool me

[Nosher]

How to make people feel happy by the BBC and the Home Office

1.  The statistics are flawed as is everything that comes out of the Home Office 

2.  Where do they get the salary figures from.....  £22k for Ambulance Staff and £36k for Paramedics? 

3.  There isn't such a thing as an Ambulance Driver..... Yes we drive Ambulances but thats just a mode of transport to get us to patients and then onto hospital It's not like we do anything when were with patients FFS   

[Leon]

Wow, I've done 5 of the jobs in the bottom 50... 

The sad thing is that there are only about 10 jobs on that list who get paid less than me... 

[WeeWars]

Wow, I've done 5 of the jobs in the bottom 50... 

Surely you've also done at least three of the top five: Chief Executive, Company Secretary and Quality Assurance all at Pendraken? 

[Zippee]

My job didn't even make the list 

Either desperately unhappy or forgotten and marginalised - not entirely sure which is worse 

[Steve J]

There isn't such a thing as an Ambulance Driver

Well my Directors wife has just given that job up, so it exists! However, she was ferrying patients to and from hospital in a non-emergency role, if that makes sense.

As for my job, it's not even on there, but similar ones are low down on the list .

I assemble ready-to-use medium-high voltage cables for switch gears and stuff so that is classed as:

(249) Assemblers (electrical and electronic products)    

And for what it's worth, i think it is ranked too high 

[fsn]

Well closest for me would be (5) Quality assurance and regulatory professionals.

You lot must be suicidal!

[petercooman]

Just one little query, what's the difference between:

( Farmers
and
(262) Fishing and other elementary agriculture occupations

And especially, why is the one that much happier than the other? I consider a farmer having an elementary agricultural occupation.

I'm H.A.P.P.Y
I'm H.A.P.P.Y
I know I am
I'm sure I am
I'm H.A.P.P.Y

   

[Fenton]

255 for me  

Wish I was getting close to mean income for it

[Techno]

192 ? Reckon I'm much happier than that !
But I wish I got close to the mean income too !

Cheers - Phil

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I was 13 and above mean, but hating it, but then I had a frankly massive breakdown!
Much below mean now, but much nearer happiness.

I'm trying my best to up your score Phil!

[Hertsblue]

They don't mention the happiest and most satisfying occupation of all - I'm retired! 

[get2grips]

106 for me...meh

Leon, if you added all your clones together you must be number 1 in satisfaction AND salary!  Simples
