Being an actuary, calculating statistics to determine probability and risk,
is the best job to have in 2010, while working on an oil rig as a roustabout is
the worst, according to a study released on Tuesday.
An actuary earns about $85,000 a year and has few physical demands, little
stress, a good work environment and a positive outlook for employment and income
growth, said CareerCast.com, a job search site that analyzed 200 jobs in North
America.
The second-best job is software engineer, followed by computer systems
analyst, biologist and historian, said CareerCast.com, which rated jobs in terms
of stress, working environment, physical demands, income and hiring outlook.
Being a roustabout was rated the worst, followed by lumberjack, ironworker,
dairy farmer and welder, it said.
A roustabout is a dangerous job that typically pays about $31,000 a year,
with high unemployment and a negative outlook for growth, the study said.
Switching to many of the best jobs would mean returning to school, said
Tony Lee, publisher of CareerCast.com's 2010 Jobs Rated Report. This is its 12th
annual study.
The worst jobs are "fairly miserable," Lee said. They tend to require
working outdoors regardless of the weather, have elements of physical danger and
do not pay very well, he said.
"On top of that, the job opportunities are not very good so if you really
want one of these jobs, you may even have difficulty finding one despite the
fact that they're dangerous, in bad conditions and don't pay very well," he
said.
Last year, actuary placed second and mathematician first, while lumberjack
ranked as the worst job.
