Given that the newspaper industry isn't doing so well,  the reporter’s future is up in the air, and the pay is not that great, it’s understandable.

The jobs are ranked in five categories:  Physical demands, work environment, income, stress, and hiring outlook.

The best job is ACTUARY.  What the heck is that and how do I get to be one?  An actuary calculates financial risk, usually for insurance companies or other big businesses.  Sounds Booooring! But it pays well, and good ones can have jobs for life.

The rest of the top 10 best jobs are biomedical engineer, software engineer, audiologist, financial planner, dental hygienist, (dental hygienist really, scraping teeth?).
