Spotted in Forbes Magazine: Happiest Job in America?

Happy jI have to say I was not surprised to learn that Realtors are the happiest employees in America. Yeap – Realtors, not doctors or kindergarten teachers, hold the number one spot among the top ten happiest employees according to CareerBliss.com. The findings and a detailed article are featured in Forbes Magazine.

“With an index score of 4.26 (out of 5), real estate agents said they are more than satisfied with the control they have over the work they do on a daily basis. They’re also fairly content with their bosses, ” the article explained. I personally find happiness when I take a moment to realize that what I do impacts a family’s roots and lifelong memories. It doesn’t hurt that I deal with lovely people on a daily basis in beautiful Coral Gables and Coconut Grove!
