Vous êtes ingénieur de chantier, psychologue, peintre, pompier ou homme d’Église ? Sachez que selon le magazine Forbes, vous faites un des dix métiers qui apportent le plus de bonheur.
Le magazine Forbes vient de publier un classement des métiers qui apportent le plus de bonheur à ceux qui le pratiquent. Celui-ci a été établi en fonction des résultats récupérés à partir de sondages par la National Organization for Research de l'université de Chigaco, aux États-Unis. Et si certains font rêver dès le plus jeune âge, d'autres sont beaucoup plus étonnants:
10e) Les ingénieurs de chantier :Manipuler des grues, des bulldozers ou des tractopelles sur les chantiers de construction peut avoir quelque chose de très enfantin. Ainsi, la National Organization for Research n'hésitent pas à comparer ceux qui exercent ce métier à des grands enfants qui jouent aux Lego.
9e) Les agents financiers de vente de services : Selon Forbes, ceux qui vous délivrent des prêts et autres opérations destinées à vous endetter sont payés 90 000 dollars, soit 68 000 euros, pour 40 heures de travail en restant assis sur une chaise de bureau. Peut-être une bonne raison d'aimer ce métier...
8e) Les psychologues et psychanalystes : Écouter les problèmes existentiels des autres serait une source de bonheur pour ces professionnels de l'âme. Forbesaffirme avec humour que "les psychologues ne sont peut-être pas en mesure de résoudre les problèmes des autres, mais il semble qu'ils ont réussi à résoudre les leurs."
7e) Les peintres et les sculpteurs: Ceux qui exercent ces activités se disent très satisfaits de leur travail. De leur passion et de leur besoin de faire l'art, ils en ont fait une profession.
6e et 5e) Les professeurs spécialisées et les enseignants généralistes :L’Éducation nationale a beau être une institution en crise, le plaisir de transmettre du savoir ou d'aider des jeunes en difficulté est toujours présent. Enseigner demeure toujours une vocation qui peut déboucher sur un épanouissement dans le travail.
4e) Les écrivains : Même si leur profession est précaire, leur autonomie professionnelle semble apporter beaucoup de satisfaction professionnelle aux auteurs. Les maisons d'édition ne semblent pas être les pires employeurs de la société actuelle au regard de ce classement.
3e) Les physiothérapeutes : Redonner espoir et bonheur à des personnes meurtries par des accidents semble donner du baume au cœur à ces professionnels de santé. Ils peuvent voir chaque rééducation réussie comme une résurrection dont ils sont les responsables.
2e) Les pompiers : Un sondage révèle que plus de 80 % des soldats du feu sont heureux dans leur métier. Assister, protéger et secourir les gens leur amène beaucoup de bonheur.
1er) Les hommes d’Église : L'amour de Dieu semble être apparemment une source de joie de vivre inépuisable. Leur foi, leur fonction d'assistance et d'écoute à l'égard des paroissiens leur apporte visiblement de bonheur dans leur activité.
A noter que Forbes avait établi il y a quelques semaines un autre classement qui répertoriait les métiers où les gens sont les moins heureux (voir ci-dessous). Beaucoup de ces professions étaient liées à une activité bureaucratique grassement rémunérée. Par contre, ici, la plupart des jobs qui apportent du bonheur dans ce classement ne sont curieusement pas attractifs sur le plan du salaire : pompier, professeur, curé, etc. Si quelqu'un désire une application concrète de la tirade "l'argent ne fait pas le bonheur", il n'a juste qu'à consulter cette liste pour ensuite s'en servir comme argument.

Pour information, la liste Forbes des métiers rendant le plus malheureux en 2011 était la suivante:
1. Director of Information Technology (directeur informatique)
For all the press that teachers and nurses get for their long hours, low pay and thankless tasks, it may be surprising to see the most hated job was that of information technology director, according to CareerBliss. After all, the salary's pretty good and with information technology such a prevalent part of everyday business, an IT director can hold almost as much sway over the fate of some companies as a chief executive.

After all, the salary's pretty good and with information technology such a prevalent part of everyday business, an IT director can hold almost as much sway over the fate of some companies as a chief executive.
Still, IT directors reported the highest level of dissatisfaction with their jobs, far surpassing that of any waitress, janitor, or bellhop. Of those who responded to the survey, one simple, five-word response summed up the antipathy very well: "Nepotism, cronyism, disrespect for workers."
2. Director of Sales and Marketing (directeur des ventes et du marketing)
A director of sales and marketing plans implements efforts to promote companies and generate business. Responsibilities often include budget management, public relations, and employee training.

Sales and marketing directors reported the second-highest level of job dissatisfaction of all survey respondents. The majority who responded negatively cited a lack of direction from upper management and an absence of room for growth as the main sources of their ire.
3. Product Manager (chef de produit)
"Product manager" is a wide-ranging job title that takes on many meanings, depending on the company and its sector. In some cases, the job requires simply evaluating what products are best suited to a company's business model, and in others marketing, resource management, and scheduling are involved.

In some cases, the job requires simply evaluating what products are best suited to a company's business model, and in others marketing, resource management, and scheduling are involved.
The level of job dissatisfaction was very high for this position. One respondent complained that it restricted growth, saying that it was "very hard to grow up the ranks." Another was less polite and said "the work is boring and there's a lot of clerical work still at my level."
4. Senior Web Developer (développeur web)
Senior web developers design, maintain, and develop applications for the Internet. With every business expected to have some kind of Internet presence these days, developers are found working in every type of company, in a full-time, part-time, or freelance capacity.

A senior developer is expected to be fluent in client-side and server-side contexts, and know his or her way around Python, Ruby, or whatever other arcane technology requires taming. Senior developers reported a high degree of unhappiness in their jobs, attributable to a perception their employers are unable to communicate coherently, and lack an understanding of the technology.
5. Technical Specialist (expert technique)
A technical specialist "leads the analysis, definition, design, construction, testing, installation, and modification of medium to large infrastructures," according to CareerBliss. This means that if a company wants to design a project, the technical specialist evaluates it to see what's possible and what isn't.

The job is a lead position that requires intimate knowledge of engineering; familiarity with Linux helps, too. However, technical specialists reported that for all their expertise, they were treated with a palpable level of disrespect. They cited a "lack of communication from upper management" and felt their "input was not taken seriously."
6. Electronics Technician (technicien en électronique)
Electronics technicians maintain, troubleshoot and collect monthly measurement data for electronic systems. They work in every sector and can be employed with the phone company, a chain of fast-food restaurants, or the U.S. Navy. Whatever the case, technicians work on-site and off-site, have constant contact with clients, and must have an ability to quickly solve complex technical problems under intense pressure.

Whatever the case, technicians work on-site and off-site, have constant contact with clients, and must have an ability to quickly solve complex technical problems under intense pressure.
Employee dissatisfaction in this job is attributable to several factors. One respondent complained of having "too little control," while another had a litany of complaints: "Work schedule, lack of accomplishment, no real opportunity for growth, peers have no motivation to work hard, no say in how things are done, hostility from peers towards other employees."
7. Law Clerk (greffier)
Clerkships are among the most highly sought-after positions in the legal profession. A law clerk assists judges as they write opinions, and the ones who get the job are almost always near the top of their class at law school. Six justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, including Elena Kagan and current Chief Justice John Roberts, were all law clerks early in their careers.

Six justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, including Elena Kagan and current Chief Justice John Roberts, were all law clerks early in their careers.
The job clearly beefs up a resume. Yet law clerks still report high levels of dissatisfaction. The hours are long and grueling, and the clerk is subject to the whims of sometimes mercurial personalities. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also reported the job brings in a median salary of $39,780 a year—not exactly striking it rich—and those looking for advancement within the position simply will not find it.
8. Technical Support Analyst (hotliner)
Technical support analysts help people with their computer issues. This typically amounts to calmly communicating technical advice to panicked individuals, often over the phone, and then going on site to find the client simply hadn't turned the printer on.

Technical support analysts often work in a variety of environments, and they may be required to travel at a moment's notice, sometimes on holidays or weekends. After all, there's no telling when a client's computer-whiz nephew might make a minor tweak to his machine, with disastrous results.
In the words of one of the respondents, "You can do better, really."
9. CNC Machinist (opérateur machiniste)
CNC machinists operate computer numerical control machines. For the uninitiated, this is a machine that operates a lathe or a mill. On the upside, it renders obsolete processes that used to be performed by hand, at a slow pace and with high risk to the operator's life and limb.

Now that the CNC operator has had most of the physical hazards of manufacturing replaced by a machine, there's not a lot to do but push buttons and perform equipment inspections to make sure the coolant is at a safe level. Since it's a specialized skill, the job offers no room for advancement, which caused respondents to report a high degree of dissatisfaction.
10. Marketing Manager (responsable marketing)
A marketing manager is responsible for overseeing advertising and promotion. This involves developing strategies to meet sales objectives, based on the study of such factors as customer surveys and market behavior.
