By Jacquelyn Smith
Most people believe "a happy career" and "a fat paycheck" are mutually
exclusive, but online jobs community CareerBliss.com recently found
these two things sometimes do go hand in hand.
CareerBliss compiled its new
list of jobs that can make you happy and rich by analyzing more than
25,000 independent company reviews from 2013 and 2015.
The reviews are from employees all over the US who evaluated 10 factors
that affect work happiness on a five-point scale: one's relationship
with one's boss and coworkers, workplace environment, job resources,
compensation, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation,
daily tasks, and job control over the work performed on a daily basis.
CareerBliss combined those numbers to find an average rating of overall
happiness for each respondent, and sorted the results by job title and
salary to determine which jobs pay well and make professionals the
happiest.
The No. 1 job on the list is VP of Global Sales. People in this position
gave the profession a perfect "bliss score" of 5 out of 5. On average,
they earn $163,000 a year, more than triple the national average salary
of $47,230.
"We find that people often settle for just a job, when there are many
careers out there that take extra effort but pay off with huge
dividends," says Heidi Golledge, CEO and cofounder of CareerBliss. "If
you look for the opportunity to build something great while learning and
earning a piece of the action, your career and bank account will thank
you for it."
