Math and Computer Careers Top the List

I saw a piece in today's Sun-Times (special advertising supplement "EdGuide") which referenced an interesting survey from CareerCast.com. Their survey ranks careers, not just on the basis of the employment outlook (which is, of course, important) but it also took into account the work environment, income, physical demands and stress. You can find the survey results here: http://www.careercast.com/jobs/content/JobsRated_Top200Jobs

I found it interesting that of the top 10 careers, 5 of them were in the math and IT fields:
1. Mathematician
2. Actuary
3. Statistician
5. Software engineer
6. Computer systems analyst
