HAIRDRESSERS are the happiest employees while social workers and architects are the most miserable professionals, according to a new survey
EXCERPT from Scotsman.com (click here for full news)
Architect Richard Murphy, who runs his own firm in Edinburgh, said: "I myself am actually very happy and I think I can speak for my staff too, though as a profession it is hopelessly paid.
"Architects do suffer massive frustrations as the years go by and they are always having battles with such bodies as Historic Scotland as well as all the planning hoops you have to jump through.
"A lot of graduates study architecture at university without really realising what they are signing up to later in life. Being an architect is much more of a calling than a profession."
