Geologists - we're #32!


The list of the top 200 jobs for 2010 is out and geologists rank #32, just behind motion picture editors and just ahead of civil engineers.    The ranking is developed by CareerCast based on 5 criteria: Physical Demands, Work Environment, Income, Stress, and Hiring Outlook.   [right, geologist at the Resolution Copper mine near Superior.  Credit, Resolution Copper]

The #200 rated job?   Roustabout on an oil rig in a remote, hostile location.
