50 Best Jobs
 
Do you have one of the top 50 jobs? Do you think the list is accurate?

Salacious 04-22-2006 06:46 PM

Nope I don't.

Hard to say on the accuracy.

maddy 04-22-2006 07:01 PM

Allegedly, I have one of the jobs. I personally don't think it should be in the top 50, but only got there due to the growth potential thanks to legislation of a few years ago.

Define "top".

Mine isn't there, but neither was "stunt masseur for the terminally beautiful".

I do....and the job has its good days and bad...but according to the information I am underpaid by about $20K :(

I'm with OF, how do they rate these jobs? How much money, or does personal satisfaction enter the equation at all? I see "lawyer" up high on the list, & I'm sure it's a high-paid gig, but who wants a job where you have to look yourself in the mirror every morning & resist the urge to apply the razor in a linier motion across the throat? (I'm having a mental image of a neighbor of mine, whose mug is on tv screens all over town because he's defending an *alledged* wife killer in his related fraud/theft trial)

The list is wrong. I didn't see Pixie Moderator on there. :rolleyes:







ROFLMAO :D :D

My hopeful future job is on there. :)

LixyChick 04-24-2006 04:00 AM

I don't even have to look and I know my job isn't on there. *sigh*

2 factors here, moose...#1, it's US dollars on the chart, while I have no idea what the conversion rate is, that would make a big difference, and #2...it's an average, which means while some IT's may be shittin' in high cotton, there's likely a bunch at the bottom of the pile as well...

Yeppers ................... looks to be pretty darn Close to the Facts. I just wish I could retire and stay that way.

I've had a number of those jobs & since I like what I do, I'd say it's accurate. The pay scale is pretty crazy, tho', even allowing for the exchange rate.

In Canada, only the creme de la creme editors make $100,000 a year. The higher pay rates are usually for columnists. One of the highest paid columnists/reporters for a newspaper I know makes $250,000.

Actually, our top-paid TV anchors make only $2-3 million/yr. Compare that to Katie Couric's latest deal -- $25 million for three years or something like that?

They expect them to live on THAT?!?

Vicious Tease 04-26-2006 12:42 PM

I'm on the list, though I am very surprised to have made it.

However, I'm not surprised at all to learn that I am grossly underpaid. Figures!
