TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - As Mondays roll in, do you ever catch yourself wondering whether other people are excited to clock into work? More often than not, repetitive routines, toxic environments, and career opportunities have wavered the focus of employees. Instead of completing their tasks for the day, workers are bound to look for better prospects elsewhere.
To avoid such a dilemma, here’s a look at the happiest jobs in the world for a more seamless and smoother career path.
10 Happiest Jobs in the World
Forbes and Indeed released lists of the happiest jobs in the world, which include construction workers, early childhood education teachers, accountants, tax employees, and many others, as follows:
1. Construction Worker
Sitting on the top list is the construction industry with an average score of 72.20 out of 100, per Forbes. Construction workers whose responsibilities revolve around labor-intensive tasks on construction sites, quarries, and open-pit mines are reportedly content with their compensation, as well as the cultures and values shared within the field.
2. Early Childhood Education Teacher
Early childhood education teachers are consistently recognized as one of the happiest jobs in the world because of the absence of peer pressure. Specializing in the developmental stages of young children, early education teachers are responsible for creating lesson plans that incorporate engaging daily activities to stimulate children’s intelligence growth.
3. Accounting and Taxes Employees
Forbes shared that accounting and taxes present the highest score in the career opportunities category, making the industry’s employees seem to be satisfied doing their daily tasks. The cultures and values ingrained into the work environment also gained reputable high scores.
4. Sound Engineering Technician
As their work tasks require them to stay either at a live event or in a studio, sound engineering technicians are among the world’s most satisfied workers. Their responsibilities range from setting up and operating audio, broadcast, video, and lighting equipment.
5. Event Planner
Much like sound engineering technicians, event planners spend the majority of their working hours at a live event venue, creating even more opportunities in the outside world. Their expanded networks have also contributed to their contentment towards the overall job. With an average salary reaching $52,407 annually, event planners are tasked with creating schedules, negotiating contracts, and reviewing invoices.
6. Plumber
Plumbers handle pipe installation for business or residential needs, allowing them to meet new clients every day. With the exposure to fresh routines, plumbers are among the happiest jobs. Their biggest setback is perhaps to provide timely manners upon plumbing issue emergencies.
7. Carpenter
For creative minds alike who need an outlet to express their immersive train of thought, a carpenter may be the right occupation to take. Using specialized tools, a carpenter is responsible for measuring, installing, and repairing structures made from wood. They also have active involvement in the planning, design, layout, as well as cost estimation.
8. Interior Designer
Unlike architects, who carry the burden of forming the greatest foundation of buildings, interior designers work closely with clients needing aesthetic touches in their spaces. They facilitate homeowners and businesses to implement a design plan with entailing budget, objectives, and functionality. Therefore, interior designers are highlighted as one of the happiest jobs in the world.
9. Esthetician
As healthcare professional helpers, an esthetician assists clients during their beauty and aesthetics procedures, including cleaning the face, referring to advanced treatments, and addressing skincare concerns. They usually work within an aesthetic clinic alongside aesthetic doctors.
10. Healthcare Workers
Healthcare workers conclude the list of the happiest jobs in the world for their career opportunities. In some regions, healthcare workers enjoy above-average salaries annually, making it a lucrative career journey. Additionally, in the wake of artificial intelligence threats for humans, the healthcare industry stands out as one of the most untouchable fields.
