Best Job: Software Engineering |
|
 The year 2011 is the best of times for software engineers and the worst for roustabouts, according to a survey of the U.S.’s best and worst jobs. Software engineers have the top jobs, thanks to the exploding demand for high-tech gadgets and the appetite for applications for iPods, tablets and other devices, said the survey by online jobs site CareerCast. com. They enjoy a strong outlook for employment, low stress, few physical demands and good wages, it said. Roustabouts, on the other hand, who are oil rig or gas pipeline workers, have the worst job. A roustabout’s job is dangerous, and they routinely work 12-hour shifts in tough conditions, it said. The top five jobs, which include mathematician, actuary, statistician and computer systems, typically pay more than twice as much as the lowest jobs. The least desirable jobs along with roustabout for 2011 are iron worker, lumberjack, roofer and taxi driver. (Source: uk.reuters.com)
