What is the top three professions for job satisfaction?

Money magazine and salary.com just researched hundreds of jobs, considering their growth, pay, stress-levels and other factors, and they said these were the top 3 best jobs:


1) Software Engineer


2) College Professor


3) Financial Advisor





On the other hand, The Wall Street Journal's CareerJournal.com survey found people who were both career-focused and highly satisfied with their work. Then they tried to find out why they were so pleased with their work life. The "satisfying" jobs provided:


* Good intellectual stimulation


* Strong job security


* High level of control and freedom in what to do


* Extensive direct contact with customers/clients





Then they tried to find jobs high in those characteristics. The resulting "best" careers:


* Curriculum and instructional coordinators


* High-school special-education teachers


* Hospital and clinic managers


* Management consultants and analysts


* Medical researchers


* Physical therapists


* Sales, marketing and advertising managers


* Social workers, counselors and related managers





Good luck!
