'Engineer' is the UK's third best job
A poll conducted by LV=Research has found that engineering is the third best job in the UK. The study, conducted among 5,000 British workers, began by establishing the ten key features of a job that modern workers rate the most highly. These included job security, pay, responsibility, opportunity to progress, positive working environment and varied workload.
Engineering came in a whisker behind accountancy and teaching as the best best jobs to have. Also in the top five were charity worker and IT technician.
The researchers spoke to 2,000 Britons in full time employment to establish the top ten criteria for what makes the perfect job, and then another 5,000 Britons across 60 of the most common jobs in the UK (50 people for each profession), with each rating their jobs against the top ten criteria.
