The General Social Survey released its results on the 10 happiest jobs. The survey was conducted by University of Chicago’s National Organization for Research. The result may be a bit surprising because the jobs are not exactly high paying and the work description is not even complicated.

Here are the 10 happiest jobs according to the survey:

1. Firefighters – helping other people may have contributed to their job satisfaction.
2. Authors – the royalty which they receive for published reading materials are almost non-existent but seeing the product of their own minds may have led to their happiness.
3. Teachers – despite the government’s budget constraints, teachers are generally happy with their work as their profession gives them the opportunity to create their own legacy through young students’ future.
4. Clergy – this is, according to the survey, the happiest of all.
5. Artists – despite the challenge and difficulty of making money out of their creations, painters and sculptors reported high job satisfaction.
6. Physical therapists – aside from helping other people, social interaction may have also made this job among the happiest.
7. Psychologists – aside from solving other people’s dilemmas, they may have also found a way to solve their own.
8. Operating engineers – backhoes, shovels, large pumps, air compressors and huge bulldozers may seem like toys to them hence, they have fun at work.
9. Special education teachers – the joy of helping others in need of attention may have made this job one of the happiest.
10. Financial services sales agents – comfortable work environment plus handling $90,000 in average yearly may have contributed to its high job satisfaction.
