Software Engineer? You’ve got to be kidding. How about Adult Film Star? Hours are a lot better and at least you realize you work with idiots.

Software Engineer is nothing more than a holding pen for the socially inept and wierdos.
I am, and i am neither.

HR Manager? Are they nuts? Who want’s to deal with the benefits complaints of 10,000 employees, handle hiring and firing… not me.

I agree, Bald Man, but then again the author would be pointing to the “enemy’s” job as the best… especially on the heels of the New York Times reporting a 68.5% drop in first quarter earnings.

Clearly, the author is stuck in an old media mode. The best job out there: Pro Blogger!

I see they list pharmacist as #9. I’m a pharmacist, and I am assuming that pharmacist made it to the #9 spot because of the pay. Don’t get me wrong, the pay is great but the job stinks. I work for large retail pharmacy, and frankly I feel somedays like an overpaid cashier. Plus, they are now talking about making our pharmacy open 24-7. YIKES!!! I am NOT working overnite!

“Engineer” is number 17 on the list… strange that they group all other engineering disciplines in to one category while they separate software engineer out and rank it #1. Sound’s a little shady to me.

That guys notes, “The hours remain a challenge.” Coming from someone who works for EA, that’s code for “I work 137 hours a week! SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME!!!”

Well, time for me to get back to having the best job in America.
