Those who had high-school education (12 years of formal education) completed a demographic and JOB SATISFACTION questionnaire and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) as self-report, while those who had lower education the questionnaires were completed with the help of a trained interviewer.Results: Findings revealed that those with higher education had more psychological problems in contrast to their counterpart colleagues.
