What You Do...

There are some interesting groupings in the post below. Note that all the top jobs- the safest, most congenial, best compensated, most available- are mathematics oriented. What gives them a run, and comes up a bit short (though I do not know what quantitative differences their are between the individual slots) are (drum roll, please):

Historian, Sociologist, and Philosopher

Fantastic. One science gig- biology, at number four. I think this gives a strong boost to the argument that a liberal arts education is worth pursuing. On a related note only a single people oriented job makes the cut. Not a teacher, not a therapist, but a parole officer. This profession is considered Safer, Healthier, and Better Compensated than teaching. Very interesting.
