1 in 3 Workers Regret Career Choce

LONDON - Sept. 25, 2018 - PRLog -- 1 in 3 UK Workers Regret Their Career Choice

A third of UK workers regret their choice of career, with a further one in four people (29%) claiming to still be in the wrong job today.

This dissatisfaction with how we earn a crust is, arguably, a motivator in encouraging more than half of us (53%) to take up a hobby that could earn us some extra cash.

In fact, UK workers are spending an average of around 5 hours a week on these 'hobbies' that have potential to bring in a second form of income.

This seems to be a trend particularly among the younger generation, who are more likely to dedicate their spare time to a 'side hustle'.

The new research by media company Winkball revealed just 6% of people currently love what they are doing for work, with over half (58%) admitting they wish they had started a career in something they were more passionate about.

A second job in the media industry seems to be the most popular side hustle – around a quarter (26%) of people would like to work as a blogger or reporter of some kind.

Top 3 Most Desirable 'Side Hustles':

• Writer
• Blogger
• Consultant

Psychotherapist and broadcaster Anjula Mutanda commented on the findings "In today's world it's quite common to find that people are dissatisfied in their careers and keen to find an additional outlet that really captures their interests. However, because of the financial pressures associated with modern life people often stay in jobs that they don't really like very much because they feel they have to. This is one reason why having a side-hustle can be so beneficial. It means that you can invest some of your time and energy into something you really love".
