(MONEY Magazine) – A (saucy) MONEY poll on the enjoyment of employment Okay. By now you know what the best jobs in America are and how to get one. But, hey, how do you really feel about the nine-to-five grind? Do you always pay strict attention when the boss is talking, or does your mind drift to pizza, passion or the powerball lottery? To get your innermost views on life in the workplace, MONEY asked ICR Survey Research Group of Media, Pa. to quiz a statistically valid cross section of American wage earners.1 Read on for the surprising results.

Q. How happy are you in your present job? A. Belying the nonstop whining heard around the office coffee machine, 52% of our respondents said they were very happy with their jobs; a respectable 38% said that they were somewhat happy, and a mere 3% said they were not happy at all. (The other 7% were simply not very happy.) As you'd expect, people earning more than $40,000 a year were more content than those earning less. But you may not realize that older workers are more pleased than younger ones; a remarkable 99% of those between 55 and 64 said they are very or somewhat happy.

Q. But which do you like more -- your job or pizza? A. Aha! Here we begin to document an undercurrent of discontent. Fully 25% of all respondents prefer the pie. Young people and women were especially eager to dial Domino's.

Q. If you could start again, would you choose the same career? A. Maybe not. A full 42% said that if they could start again, they would not do a repeat. More women have regrets: 50% of them would pass up their current career, compared with 35% of the men who responded.

Q. If you won $1 million in the lottery, would you quit your job? A. One million bucks ain't what it used to be. Fully 64% of those surveyed said they would keep working. Women, however, were far more eager to punch out (42%, vs. 31% of men).

Q. How much time do you spend goofing off at work? A. A sizable minority admit they're somewhat less than diligent. Fifteen percent said they spend between 10% and 20% of their time at work goofing off; 4% spend between 20% and 50%, and a hardy band of 3% seemingly boasted that they spend more than half their workday doing nothing. (Don't worry, we won't name names.)

Q. Have you ever had an affair with a co-worker? A. Ten percent of those polled said they've mixed business with this sort of pleasure. Younger people are the friskiest -- or, perhaps, simply the most honest: 12% of those ages 18 through 34 owned up to office affairs. More than twice as many men as women confessed. Furthermore, who said money can't buy love? Those earning at least $40,000 are twice as likely to indulge as those earning less.

Q. Have you ever told a co-worker your salary? A. Proving that sex is more of a taboo than money -- in the workplace, at least -- over four times more of those polled, or 44%, said they told a co- worker how much money they make. Men, who tend to earn more than women overall, are the biggest blabbermouths: 48% of them have spread the word, compared with 39% of women.

Q. Finally, would you rather get a one-time $1,000 holiday bonus, or spend one night with either Cindy Crawford or Mel Gibson? A. When we made this indecent proposal, money talked. Only 14% of the men said they would forgo the cash for Cindy, while just 7% of the women said they would do the same for marvelous Mel. The most drastic libido/greed discrepancy occurs in the geriatric crowd: 19% of women age 65 or older would choose Mel, whereas we didn't turn up one older man who wanted a grand night with Cindy more than the grand itself.

Note: 1 We polled 676 men and women nationally; the margin of error is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
