Mathematicians Top List of Best Occupations
Posted on January 21, 2009 Comments (6)
These lists are basically silly but here is one sites opinion on the best occupations. I don’t really accept the methodology used as providing anything very meaningful about the “best jobs” but at least the spell it out. Best jobs
- Mathematician
- Actuary
- Statistician
- Biologist
- Software Engineer
- Computer Systems Analyst
Their criteria really value being able to sit at a desk and not having to do physical work. High salary and limited stress are also significant factors.

I’d have to agree about the Software engineer one to be low on stress. Apart from deadlines you do not get constantly harrased and micro managed by the boss. I have been a computer systems analyst/engineer as well and that was not as much fun as you have to deal with people more and they can wear you down eventually. Good list.
