736455 2009-01-08 20:43:00 According to the main page (www.careercast.com) the site "offers help for uncertain job seekers by analyzing 200 different jobs according to 5 vital criteria: Stress, Work Environment, Physical Demands, Income and Outlook."

My main job isn't listed at all, but I do a little of 23 and 60....

Interesting to note that "Surgeon" sits at 156 on the list!!!

The methodology they used is here (www.careercast.com).

736459 2009-01-08 23:36:00 Yay! made it into the top 10 of something (#5) MushHead (10626)
736460 2009-01-09 01:02:00 that list doesn't sound right to me. How did Parole Officer make it to #14?

according to 5 vital criteria: Stress, Work Environment, Physical Demands, Income and Outlook."

Because its not physical. Its not stressful. Outlook - great considering the numbers of ex-cons being released in the US.

(They are the parole officer - not the cop - not the prison guard - not the bounty hunter remember).

736462 2009-01-09 03:08:00 I think that list is very unfair.
What about Monty Pythons song "I'm a lumberjack and I'm 200"

It doesn't quit rhyme OK does it ?

And what is an EMT (196)
Digby (677)
736463 2009-01-09 04:19:00 I'd rather work in the forestry then be a mathematician.

Actually I feel a bit of pity for people who spend their working lives indoors.
