graduates recently moving on from
student life who happen to choose
teaching as a career are least likely to be bored in their job.
A survey by The
Training and Development Agency for Schools surveyed over 2000 graduates of ages 21 to 45, although many would doubt that 45 year olds recently left student life. The study found more than half were regularly bored at work.
Graduates in administrative or manufacturing jobs such as
secretaries,
workers and
labourers were those most frustrated. They were swiftly followed by
marketing salespeople and
sales employees.
However,
teachers and
healthcare employees were the least bored of the graduates questioned, alongside graduates in the
media, working in law or in
engineering, such as
Computing and
Product Design.
Over 60% of employees questioned believed they were bored due unchallenging jobs. The inability to use new skills or knowledge made
work boring for 60%, and doing the same thing each day was the epitomy of boredom for 50%.
