    Psh, I'm number 13, but I have a higher salery than anyone in the top ten.

    Top ten, my ass.

    Annual income of over 100,000. BOOYAH!

    #19 but most editors are freelance even the ones who work for major companies like PBS. So they end up doing other jobs in the business. I also have done PA work for people which is basically just a production assistant. Running around doing various things like help setting up the lights. My dad's is number 181. Yeah it's a bad job because there's a higher chance of you dying, but it's one that's important. And I find that most of the jobs on the "best" list are not important whereas most of the jobs on the "worst" list are. Seriously, I'm sure most of you would want a roof over your house, but could do without a philosopher like Rumi teaching you mystics.

    There are many higher paying jobs that are much lower also. Take Attorney. $120,000 and is #80 something. They take way more into account than just how much bank is at stake. Stress and environment also play a huge factor.

    This list makes no sense to me. Musical Instrument repairpeople are ranked higher than nuclear engineers, and Psychologist (my future career field) is #59? o_O

    What no game designers, That's biased! At least my current occupation is on there list. I can't stand math and hate to see it as number 1.

    Thanks to my pay cut I make exactly what I would have if I worked as a philosopher!

    Yay!

    The important thing about working is being able to save money to do what you plan to do. If you can't meet your goals in the timeframe you need them made (I want to retire early, for example), then you need a better job.

    That's my litmus test. Most jobs pay enough to survive another day (they have to or it's pointless to work at those places), so the worse job is still sufficiently good. How sickening is that?

    I think that game design falls under Software Engineer (5 on Dels list)

    In six years I'll hopefully be either a 1, a 3, a 5, or an 18.

    I would not be opposed to being a #7 (Historian).

    Neither would I, Kirobaito. Let's do it together!

    I didn't see cook there but I only do it part-time anyways. I know Chefs are high-stressed. Most smoke, drink and/or abuse drugs. Actually, a majority of people who work in kitchens smoke.
