...Even WSJ doesn't put investment banking in that list
LOL #199 and #200 are "Lumberjack" and "Roustabout" respectively
I'm not going to even bother reading the methodology if "cashier" "maid" and "waitress" is above surgeon. The difference in stress only matters so much - if not work stress there's financial stress.
This is just horrendous.
note the abscence of big swinging dick
" it is assumed that each of the five Core Criteria (Environment, Income, Outlook, Physical Demands and Stress) is equally important"
How do they figure that?
There's no way an airline pilot starts at $85k. The last time that happened was....never. That killed it's credibility for me. They start at regionals at like $15k a year. Yeah, those RJ pilots earn below the poverty level.
5 HISTORIAN $34,000 $62,000 $111,000
Really?! What does a historian do that can net them above six figures besides teaching at University? Historian is number 5?
In regards to the methodology. This site/forum is not indicative of the rest of U.S. or graduating college students. Most people here probably value Income and Outlook a lot higher than Physical Demands and Stress. This forum is a small sub-set of very ambitious and driven people (so it would seem by all the smack that gets talked about). Just because a small sub-set of data points don't agree doesn't automatically invalidate the results of the study.
I almost 90% don't agree with the list, but appreciate the interesting fact on the mindset that went into compiling the list. Kind of like seeing into another person's cognitive reasoning.
