¡Cascados todos!

Woot!

Sarah Needleman, del Wall Street Journal, escribe un artículo sobre un estudio realizado acerca de cuales son los mejores trabajos (y carreras relacionadas con ellos) deacuerdo a distintos factores entre los cuales se encuentran salario, ambiente laboral, empleadores, exigencias y estrés relacionados con el trabajo.

According to the study, mathematicians fared best in part because they typically work in favorable conditions — indoors and in places free of toxic fumes or noise — unlike those toward the bottom of the list like sewage-plant operator, painter and bricklayer. They also aren’t expected to do any heavy lifting, crawling or crouching — attributes associated with occupations such as firefighter, auto mechanic and plumber.

The study also considers pay, which was determined by measuring each job’s median income and growth potential. Mathematicians’ annual income was pegged at $94,160, but Ms. Courter, 38, says her salary exceeds that amount.


Me largo de este país donde la gente no sabe para qué quiere un matemático.
