A survey, conducted by Stonebridge Associated Colleges, a home learning college, showed that 42 per cent of people in Shropshire feel they aren't in the best job for them, with 20 per cent unhappy in their occupation.

And despite problems with work, 53 per cent made a New Year's resolution to lose weight, 32 promised to eat healthier, whilst 18 per cent hoped to spend less and save more. Only seven per cent have made a resolution to take up a training course.

But the research also showed more than a quarter of people in the county who make resolutions will have given up by February.

Wayne Janse Van Rensburg, of Stonebridge Associated Colleges, said: "People seem to be settling for less and sticking with what they know professionally, even when they don't enjoy it."
