Self-Employed Are The Happiest
Business owners are the happiest workers in America, according to Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index poll data collected from January to August. Transportation and manufacturing workers have the lowest overall well-being.
Some other observations:
• The three occupations with the highest levels of well-being are those with the highest household income.
• Self-employed workers also work the most hours per week.
• Farm workers, fishers and forestry workers exhibit the healthiest habits — good diet, frequent exercise and low smoking rates.
• Construction workers and managers/executives score the best on overall health, as determined by measures of chronic illnesses.

It matters not what you do its how you feel inside. These type of surveys are based on rubbish. I am not surprised that our youngsters take on the wrong values if there thoughts are guided by material success.

Being self-employed has it’s draw backs, especially when you are working from your own home. But overall I prefer it much more to working for anyone else.
