The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday on the latest occupational ratings. The methodology included many subjective indices weighted by arbitrary coefficients. Average salary was an important factor and frequency of bending over also seemed important to CareerCast rankers. We here at Temiandu Kuera were nevertheless amused by the results: Sociologist rated 8th out of the 200 jobs ranked. Economist placed 11th, weighed down by a high Stress score. (Peculiarities in the work environment were not considered.) Astronomer was back at number 20, still in the top decile but below both Parole Officer (#14) and Paralegal Assistant (#17).
Scholarly occupations rated highly with Mathematician at #1, Biologist at #4, Historian at #7, and Sociologist, Economist, Philosopher, and Physicist all in the top 15. Academics rarely lift heavy objects and usually enjoy a safe work environment despite how toxic dry erase markers are. To those at CareerCast that seems like paradise.
