      Job No 11 on the list:

      Overall Ranking: 11
      Overall Score: 207
      Work Environment: 361.440
      Physical Demands: 6.04
      Stress: 30.497
      Income: $60,218
      Hiring Outlook: 24.18 (Very Good)

      That job is "philosopher". Income 60k? Hiring Outlook "Very Good"?

        and what is the difference between a Systems Analyst (working in IT) and a Software Engineer?

        and, code monkeying aside, a Web Developer come to that?

          If only they had made this list 18 years ago before I wasted my life attending College for my Undergraduate Degree (4yrs) then Medical School (4 yrs) and then further wasting time doing an Internship/Residency (5 yrs), and Fellowship (2 yrs). Apparently, it is better for me to have just dropped out of high school to be a janitor (#83), a Walmart Cashier (#112), or a Maid (#131) then accumulate over $200K worth of Med School debt and waste 15 yrs of my life to become a Surgeon (#136) (Actually, Vascular Surgeon, but that wasn't listed).
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            Such a dataset is correctly known as "a random heap of bollock fluff".

            Feel free to use that expression in your daily life.

                It is a septic website but here's one of the jobs in the UK
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
