Personality more influence on job than education: Click and read about the Australian study

The study, by researchers at the University of Western Sydney, Australia, showed that in many cases, personality, rather than education or the occupation of a person's parents, played a bigger role in determining what job people ended up with. People in managerial roles tended to be more open to experience, more conscientious but less agreeable than others in different job roles. Clerical workers were the most conscientious, but least open to change, while salespeople were the most extroverted and agreeable. Office workers were among the least conscientious, but they had high levels of emotional stability.
