Where Does Your Job Rank?

Any idea of what criteria they were using for this ranking?

I noticed that "Industrial Engineer" was way up (#9, IIRC). So I _know_
it's not a ranking based on pay, desirability of the job, low stress,
popularity, fun, or even demand. In my mis-spent mid-youth, I worked as
one for a while in addition to my "real" engineering duties. Did it
that way for two companies, and it _royally sucked_ both places. I
doubt that it's changed all that much in ~15 years. The only job I've
ever been happier to leave was the Navy, and that's just by a thin
margin.

JIm, wondering if this was a "computer-generated random ranking"......

Thankee, sir. Now I at least know what they _think_ they were doing.
But I still have a very different perspective on the IE jobs.... High
stress, time pressure, continual fire-fighting.... Tho' I admit that if
I'd been willing to accept some of the unprofessional perks, I might
feel differently (imagine setting work/time standards in a plant with
300+ women in it.....yes, I did give in a couple of times, finally).
<big-ass wistful grin>

But, hey, I'm not too bright, obviously. I moved from #8 to # 116 about
14 years ago, of my own free will, and am dumb enough to love it. But
I'd probably be making 2 x $$$ if I'd stayed..... and be suffering from
various STD's (part of the perk package), and have had a few
stress-related heart-attacks, and be working twice the hours, with three
times the headaches, and a lot less job satisfaction.

"Hey, our widgets are at least as well-made as the XYZ company's, and
we're making them 3% cheaper! Wow! Party at my house, dudes!"

I think I just got tired of charging over the hill every morning at 7:30
behind a banner that read "For A Better Standard of Living!!"

Jim, figuring he has to try harder, being only 116th......

Well, I did not see a listing for the line of work I am currently
pursuing...Daytrader in primarily Nasdaq technology/internet related
stocks...I really love it though...So it should be ranked #1
IMHO...Cheers...:)O(:

So, what did you think about the "60 Minutes II" segment on your "line of
work" last night? I have been thinking of playing the market on the web, so
I'm curious.
