In general, I am not surprised by the results gathered in this study. This is mainly due to working in industry for a number of years and getting to personally know a wide range of individuals holding a variety of jobs. The one thing that most individuals had in common was their inherent love of the stimulation their job offered them along with the allure of a better position down the line. It was these two motivators that seemed to be even more prevalent than this study depicts. It is these two self-affirming characteristics of a good job position that most effectively attract and keep the best pot entail employees. Stepping back, it makes sense because all the other options in the survey are nice ‘extras’ to have in ones work life, yet not required.

Personally, I am currently looking for a similar set of characteristics with the addition of work with great people and an above average pay scale. This is because I am just starting out in the workforce being relatively new to the industry and meeting great individuals would go a long way in both networking and assimilating to the company. In addition, I come out of school with debt from school so the quicker I can pay it off, the better I will feel/ financially be. These two characteristics, along with what was previously said, would best suite me when first starting work.
