The Wall Street Journal has released a list of the Best and Worst jobs for 2010 or MMX as we like to call it. Topping the list is the odd profession of actuary, a word we had to look up: Actuaries are professionals who analyze the financial impact of risk,
particularly looking ahead far into the future. Actuaries use skills in
mathematics, economics, finance and statistics to study uncertain
future events, especially those of concern to insurance companies,
employee benefits such as medical insurance and pension plans, and
social welfare programs such as social security and Medicare.
Surprises abound on the list of course, such as Philosopher coming in at number 11. Last on the list, is the profession of being a roustabout, which if you are watching the TV series, Heroes, is what most of what the circus people are. A sad list to be sure as all the fun jobs are the ones near the end of the list. For example, actors, disk jockeys, newspaper reporters, firefighters and police all come in the bottom 25.
