We’ve all heard the statistics, but they never stop amazing (and depressing) me. Sixty-five percent of Americans are planning on looking for a new job in the next 3 months. That means only thirty-five percent of Americans are marginally happy enough to not want to quit. Forget really happy and content.
Well, before you quit, check out this article on the worst jobs for 2008:

*And while we are taking careers, here’s an interesting fact: the average salary for a toll attendant is $45,000 a year. Does that surprise you?

Crazy to think it costs probably $500,000 a year just to pay the toll booth workers (let alone other expenses) before the tolls are going to pay for the roads.
