Surprise! This Career is One of the Happiest Around - Jeremy Goldman, INC

If you're unhappy at work, don't complain to your coder friends. Chances are they won't be able to relate. The stereotype of web developers is that they don't get up from their workstations except to grab another Red Bull. However, a new survey from education site SkilledUP (and conducted by market research firm ProvokeInsights) indicates that most developers are happier than you are, largely due to a high degree of freedom and rewarding salaries. Among the survey's findings: Of the 303 developers surveyed, 88% indicated that they were completely satisfied with their career. Another 11% indicated they were somewhat satisfied. Perhaps surprisingly, only 1% of developers surveyed were not at all satisfied. Out of different specialties, the happiest developers on average worked in mobile/responsive programming. http://www.inc.com/jeremy-goldman/surprise-this-career-is-one-of-the-happiest-around.html
