How much money needs to feel successful?

It turns out we can 'quantify' success and that number is not as far away as we imagine.

LiveScience reports that a recent study in the US showed that up to a quarter of respondents said they did not need to receive six-figure salaries but still felt successful in their careers.

Many other psychological factors have stood on wages
in creating satisfaction and success.

In fact, the number of 'magic' researchers found is a salary ranging from $ 50,000 to $ 70,000. Nearly 30% of employees said they would be satisfied if they earned a salary in that range, while only about 10% declared a salary of $ 150,000 a year to make them feel successful.

However, there are gender differences in this study. Men tend to quantify successfully with six-figure salaries than women. Besides, different professions also have different views about what success is. People who work in the field of sales, financial services and IT show a preference of over $ 100,000 in salary compared to other industries. In contrast, retail, manufacturing and hospital employees seem to be pleased with the salary below $ 50,000.

'While salary is important, the feeling of success does not necessarily come from the income level , ' said Rosemary Haefner, VP of Human Resources at CareerBuilder, which conducted the comment study. 'A lot of other psychological factors like the ability to make a difference, the sense of accomplishing a job and the balance between work and life . overwhelm wages'.
