Historian above Petroleum Engineer? I'd imagine 10/10 for work environment, stress and physical demands, and 1/10 for income and hiring outlook.

And the Sewage Plant Operative is sandwiched between a Secretary and a Librarian. I think I've seen a film like that...

And Corporate Executive (Senior) at position 155, 2 places above Bus Driver.

Obviously Python were wrong about Lumberjacks...

Surely being an Actuary is quite stressful?

Indeed. You can't go to parties and be honest about what you do...

Yep, I know one--as much as one ever can--and he fits that bill perfectly. His wife is as mad as a box of snakes, though, and not in a good way.

Actuary, I also know a Japanese one...

If you're going to be any number in that list it may as well be 69.

32 for my old job as a civil engineer, which I seriously doubt should have a rating that high.

All times are GMT. The time now is 3:02 am.
