Thanks for the heads-up on this goes to Govexec.com's FedBlog.
The 20 best and worst jobs, based a variety of criteria, from CareerCast.com -
Top 20:
1. software engineer
2. mathematician
3. actuary
4. statistician
5. computer systems analyst
6. meteorologist
7. biologist
8. historian
9. audiologist
10. dental hygenist
11. sociologist
12. accountant
13. paralegal assistant
13. physicist
15. financial planner
16. philosopher
17. occupational therapist
18. parole officer
19. aerospace engineer
20. economist
The bottom 20:
180. choreographer
181. plasterer
182. butcher
183. automobile mechanic
184. dairy farmer
185. photojournalist
186. child care worker
187. sheet metal worker
188. reporter (newspaper)
189. seaman
190. stevedore
191. painter
191. meter reader
191. construction worker (laborer)
194. welder
195. emergency medical technician
196. taxi driver
197. roofer
198. lumberjack
199. ironworker
200. roustabout (linked to the Wikipedia page on it because it is the worst.)
Some of the "worst" made the list because of the physical demands (roustabout), some because of the low income potential (child care worker) and some because of the poor outlook for the field (reporter).
However, the one that I'm trying to figure out is how "philosopher" made the top 20. How can I get paid to go around all day saying "I think, therefore I am"? Hell, if they pay me enough, I'll even say it in Latin (Cogito, ergo sum).
