Proud to be the Unofficial Secret Illegal Enforcer of Eyes on Final Fantasy!
When I grow up, I want to go toBovineTrump University! - Ralph Wiggum
Omg... one of my friends was talking about how awesome it would be to be a lumberjack a couple weeks ago, and it's right at the bottom of the list XD
Sooo... You created a thread about ranking jobs to replace a thread about people's opinions on math... Aside from mathematician being #1, I don't really see a major connection...?
Hm.. unemployed doesn't seem to be on that list either.
#5 for me. The worst jobs looks like a recent episode recap of <i>Dirty Jobs</i>.
I disagree with the list because it doesn't take job satisfaction into account. People will put up with a lot of crap if they really enjoy the work or they get a lot of personal value out of it. They have a top 10 satisfaction list that I think it interesting.

My current job is in the top 10 BTW.
Edit: To clarify my Job is in the top 10 on Del's list. My job isn't even on the most satisfying XD

Teaching is sixth most satisfying!
It's not on Del's list. Probably because anyone who isn't in a state with a high standard of education probably hates teaching, because you're paid less for children who need more help. It is very ironic that the best paid teachers often have the least of the work, because they teach very bright children.
The Teacher and Special Education Teacher are very relative to where you teach. I wonder where the respondents live?Originally Posted by edczxcvbnm
I don't know how they do this testing at all but I imagine that the top schools and the :skull::skull::skull::skull:ty schools collide somewhere creating a middle ground or something XD I just thought that list was interesting as most of the jobs on there are not even in the top 100 on the other list.
Philosopher, is a job now? Sweet I've had the coolest job for ages! Yet no one's been paying me. Time to go complain to the government they haven't paid me for all my overtime spent on being philosophical!
This space intentionally left blank.
And for even more contrast Firefighter is worst 20 in Del's list and top 10 in ed's list!
I was JUST thinking the same. I figure I'm owed for about five years work at least - not counting that my philosophy is distributed online, and thus EVERY state owes me!
Also the zeroth job is Supreme Overlord.
I think it depends on the area, but firefighters and police officers have it made around where I live. I'm not exactly sure about firefighters, but police here easily make 100,000 a year after advancing in the force, even though it's a really safe area. A lot of my relatives are police! I wish I was a tough girl, then I'd do it.
Artists were like #80 on Best/Worst list, and #5 on the Satisfaction list. I like the satisfaction list more.
My Photographers convention collided with a Meteorologist (#15 on the best list) convention this past week, and let me tell ya, photographers are definitely a more fun group to hang out with.
Sociologist is #8 and I defnitly want to do something with sociology, not necessarily a sociologist though. Teaching is like #127 and I'd like to do that.
Nice.
Go team math!
