2012年最佳工作排行榜

美國人力資源網站 CareerCast.com,公布二○一二年全美十大最好和最糟的工作排行榜。在二百項接受評比的職業中,軟體工程師當選最棒頭路冠軍;伐木工人落居最差工作榜首。


這項評比的標準,包括工作環境、收入、壓力、就業前景和體力需求。最佳職業二至十名,分別為精算師、人力資源經理、牙醫助理、理財經理人、聽力矯正師、職能治療師、線上廣告經理、電腦系統分析師和數學家。


      害我小高興一下,不過這裡指的比較像是臺灣定義的BIOS工程師或嵌入式系統設計工程師,偏韌體或作業系統程式設計等。至於寫應用系統的程式設計師則落到了第34名;而系統分析師則還有進前10名的榜單,高居第9位。至於專案經理則沒看到在排名內,不知是沒被比較還是落在伐木工之後 哈~
