最新调查：养宠物的人在职业上会更成功

Owning a lovely pet can unquestionably make one's home life better — and apparently, it can affect pet owners' professional lives as well. In fact, according to a new survey, people who have owned pets may be more professionally successful, and this is definitely good news for ambitious pet parents.

How exactly does pet ownership cause career success? The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with a variety of careers. Well, according to the research, some successful people reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like responsibility, creativity, empathy, discipline and organization, which have all been invaluable in the business world.

But what about people who grew up pet-less, but have adopted pets as adults? Luckily for those, the survey showed that current pet ownership can also help with professional success.

According to the research, 86 percent of current pet parents surveyed said owning pets help them stick to a routine, better manage their time, and more efficiently multitask. But even if you don't think your pet has directly helped you, your coworkers' knowledge that you have a pet may actually be beneficial for your career. In fact, 80 percent of people surveyed said they "feel more connected to colleagues who are pet owners," and 79 percent of those surveyed believe that fellow co-workers who have pets are more hard-working.
