Software engineer and college professor are the best jobs in America

April 12, 2006

"MONEY Magazine and Salary.com researched hundreds of jobs, considering their growth, pay, stress-levels and other factors. These careers ranked highest.
1. Software Engineer
2. College professor..."

(Via Slashdot | Software Engineers Ranked Best Job in America.)

Just the motivation I needed to continue with graduate studies in software engineering. I am seriously thinking of working as a software engineer or a college professor. And this decision was before this ranking was announced. It is either one of the other, does not seem that it is possible to be both. A college professor sounds more interesting though.
