Whether going to work everyday puts a smile on your face
or you want to bang your head against a wall just thinking
about it, some jobs are just better than others.
According to recruitment and job website CareerCast.com, the awesomeness of
a chosen career is determined not only by stress level on
the job, but the ability to find a new job in your field.
Physical demands, work environment, and income also play a
role in whether your job is perfect for you.
You’ll find the cream of the crop in Seattle: Software
engineers, dental hygienists, and financial planners. Other
ideal career fields might seem more surprising, like
audiologists, mathematicians, and occupational therapists.
None of the top 10 jobs on the list of 200 would make you
break a sweat. The worst jobs, on the other hand, are
stressful as well as physically demanding. Lumberjacks,
dairy farmers, and enlisted military soldiers have the
worst. Also at the bottom of the list you will find
newspaper reporters and broadcasters. Their work might not
involve a lot of heavy lifting, but stress on the job with
few career openings in the market make the newsroom less
than ideal.
You can see the complete ranking of the 200 career choices
