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.

 

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.
