What makes a job "better"? It's not just about the money. Sure, high pay, job security, and growth opportunities are important. But so are things like having control over your work, feeling like your job matters, and enjoying what you do.

People who are reliable, easy to work with, and open to learning tend to get better jobs. They also tend to be happier in those jobs. Personality plays a big role in both getting hired and staying happy at work.

But it's not just about personality. Where you're born and who your parents are also matter. Some countries offer more opportunities than others. And having well-connected or wealthy parents can open doors that others can't access.

Even within the same job, people have different preferences. Some thrive in creative, fast-paced environments, while others prefer structured, predictable work. The better a job fits with a person's values and interests, the more likely they are to enjoy it.

So, what can we do to improve our chances of landing a better job? First, understand what you want and need from work. Then, work on developing the skills and traits that employers value. And finally, don't be afraid to adapt and evolve as your career progresses.
