In the words of Rihanna: work, work, work, work, work.
Some take their jobs very seriously and even though they are technically clocked out, they still can't help but think of all that needs to be done back at the office.
Others glide by every day and once they walk out the door at 5pm or whatever time it may be, work doesn't cross their mind until they have to return.
A report conducted by the University of Chicago has found that low-paid, manual labour is usually miserable and that if you want a job with a big satisfaction rating, then you shouldn't rule out joining the priesthood.
The report outlines the twelve most miserable and most satisfying jobs a person can have. Where does yours rank?
The 12 most 'miserable' jobs:
- Roofers

- Hand packers and packagers
- Freight, stock and material handlers
