Techies have lower levels of job satisfaction than hairdressers, librarians and truck drivers despite higher earnings than many other professions.
IT workers came 66th out of 81 professions ranked for job satisfaction in research carried out by the University of Bath, despite one in 10 techies earning more than £45,000 ($91,000)a year.
The research was based on a Department of Trade and Industry survey of 22,500 employees about their work experiences and ranks them on how satisfied they feel in their job. High-earning techies appear to be unhappy in their jobs despite the fact the research found earning more than £40,000 ($79,000) a year usually has a strong positive effect on job satisfaction.
