내 직업은 Job Market에서어떻게 평가 되고 있을까?

급격한 기술 발전과 사람들의가치 변화로 인해 선호하는 직업 또한 바뀌고 있습니다. 직업이란 한 개인의 삶을 결정할 수도 있기 때문에선호하는 직업에 대한 평가는 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있습니다. 하지만 사람들이 원하는 직업과 업무 만족도는비례하고 있을까요? 겉으로 보기에는 화려하고 대중으로부터 선망의 대상이 되고 있는 직업이 실제로는 업무의질로 볼 때 힘들고 어려워 회사를 관두고 싶은 직업이 있는가 하면, 사람들에게 인기는 없지만 직업 만족도가높은 직업이 있습니다.

최근, 미국 Job Market Survey 전문회사인 CareerCast는 연봉수준, 비전, 대중 인기도, 적성, 업무시간, 동료간의 경쟁도, 스트레스 강도 등을 조사해 각 직업의 선호도와업무 만족도를 비교 평가해 공개했습니다.

Upsidefor Underrated Jobs

According to a company spokesperson, accountant,environmental engineer and human resource manager may not be among the most glamorous careers but they are fulfilling, meaningful professions, placing them on CareerCast's 2015 most underrated jobs list. Other jobs that made the listare multimedia artist, geologist, civil engineer, physiologist andveterinarian.

The landscape for underrated jobs points to favorable hiring outlook in the coming years," notes Kensing. "While they maynot attract much attention, these jobs are often lower stress and can behigh-paying."

The overrated professions were chosen from the Jobs Rated report's list of 200 jobs for their inherent stress, competition and industry volatility and high job turnover. Underrated jobs were identified for their favorable income and environment, and low stress, according to a company announcement. CareerCast is not shy about pointing out the upsides and downsides of the so-called glamour jobs.

“Architect has a relatively high projected growth outlook,but the industry’s hiring depends on economic factors more than some other fields. As the recession demonstrated, construction is especially susceptibleto marketplace volatility. Similarly, sales representatives can expect a job market dictated by sometimes unpredictable fiscal factors, adding to the inherent competitiveness of the profession,” notes a company spokesperson on its website.

He adds that the hiring outlook for attorneys is fair at10%, but the job market is challenging. An April 2015 New York Times report found recent law school graduates burdened with debt and taking on other work while searching for opportunities in the legal industry. “These are allfactors to consider when evaluating our most overrated jobs. These can beterrific careers, but understand it’s not all glamour or fun."
