WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice, today unveiled the 2020 Best Jobs. The rankings offer a look at the best jobs across 17 lists – from best-paying jobs and best jobs without a college degree to sectors such as business and technology – to help job seekers at every level achieve their career goals. The rankings take into account the most important aspects of a job, including growth potential, work-life balance and

For the third year in a row, software developer tops the list as the Best Job overall. Dentist – which peaked at No. 1 in 2017 – moves up from the No. 4 position last year to No. 2. Physician assistant comes in at No. 3, followed by orthodontist at No. 4.

My career is listed at 53, my wife’s is not listed.

Both of our careers were top 10 on this list in the past 5 years or so, and nothing has really changed in a negative way for either of us. Pretty strange, IMO.

Almost like they are pulling this out their arse.

Within the time it takes to compile the data or link with a reliable source the data is probably out of date.

So a home heath aid is ranked higher than a pilot despite making only 20% of a pilot’s salary?

Yeah, I could totally see that. Banging stewardesses can get old I guess.

What is it, 6 years school plus the 2 years of 'trama' nursing for 160k?

Meh, seems reasonable

How is OBGYN a top 20 gig? Frick that job honestly. My wife’s OB works his arse off at all hours of the day 365 days a year outside of his vacation. No way that’s a top 20 job.

It seems easier. Also seems a lot less pay.

Or maybe I am blind about what a real doctor makes.

depends on dr, but pa makes around half or a little less than half.

but remember PA doesnt have 4-6 (or more) years of residency and 2 less years of school (2 less years of student loans)

and does a fraction of the work while a doctor has to sign all paperwork


but all that less school/training is why I wont see a PA
