I’ve always thought program evaluation is one of the best jobs in the world… and now I have the data to back it up! Check out the Wall Street Journal’s Best and Worst Jobs of 2012.
“Evaluator” wasn’t on their list, but hey, we wear a lot of different hats. Here’s how some evaluation-related jobs ranked against 200 other jobs:
- Mathematician: #10 of 200
- Statistician: #18
- Sociologist: #20
- Market research analyst: #32
- Computer programmer: #34 (Okay let’s be honest, I only do computer programming for about 10 minutes a year…)
- Technical writer: #37
- Economist: #48
- Anthropologist: #53
- Management consultant: #57
Not so shabby!
