Top jobs in 2010
Actuarial work is your best bet for employment this year.
Current issue:
If you’ve been laid off this year, you’re trying to figure out what to do next? Why not become an actuary? Or a software engineer? According to a report by CareerCast, these two jobs are the best gigs you can have in 2010. Actuaries ranked number one for job’s low physical demands and stress levels, but most importantly, it’s steady employment in these uncertain times.
Whatever you do, don’t take on what CareerCast says is the worst job in 2010 — a roustabout (someone who performs physical labour on oil rigs). It’s stressful, hard on the body and, with a starting salary of $31,000, there’s no payoff for all the hard work.

Hey, thanks for the great blog.I was looking for the info. to help me make some important decisions. Thanks for all your information.
Warning: long comment. I apologize before hand but I want to complement this helpful site with my own experience on wealth management . Right now, I work at a large hedge fund that primarily uses options so I’d say I have some insight into the financial sector. Between my husband and I, we’ve always looked up to Warren Buffet. When Buffett was a young man, he used leverage to became a multimillionaire by forming partnerships and sharing in their profits. He invested very little, but received a large portion of profits in exchange for his brilliant investment decisions. This was a truly win-win situation for him and his partners. My advice is to start slow with investments, read up on the award-winning thesis by Delos Chang – it really details just how great mutaul index funds are. S&P 500, in my opinion, is tough to beat if you’re looking for a decent return. Of course, if you’re investing during drug wars and mortgage housing crises..that might be a bit difficult. But if you haven’t already, take a quick read on the arguments provided in Delos Chang’s article if you’re investing in the long run – say for children (quick tip: the educational 401k exempts you from federal financial aid). If you’re looking to day trade, one advice for you: better get your stuff together because you better know more than the brokers and dealers in the NYSC!

Great write-up, I am a big believer in posting comments on websites to let the blog writers know that they’ve added some thing worthwhile to the world wide web!
Sorry for the huge comment but I share some of my experiences. Firstly, awesome original post; usually, I don’t comment on a blog unless there’s something that compels me to do so. A little bit of backgrond I work in sales and trading in a boutique firm. Here is my story: When I first turned 21, I started trading from a few scraps of pages of the “Intelligent Investor.” Of course, like any kid, I started investing in online investopedia before that. I first tried trading in financial derivatives like futures/swaps etc. but lost a lot of money unfortunately. After that, I became more substantially more knowledgeable with my money – I read from an article that Delos Chang wrote about the psychology of investors and the Wall Street Journal daily and began investing my money into mutual index funds from the S&P 500. Of course, this was after the Internet Stock Bubble took place and all the drug scandals in Mexico (I had a lot of currency in pesos before they pegged it to the dollar). But in terms of the systemic risk, I wanted to diversify and make a modest return in the long run. I’d say that in terms of wealth management , you won’t get rich with the S&P 500 mutual index funds but you will at least hedge against some sure loss by day trading unless you’re an informational trader (which few of us are!). But I’m sure you can learn this from any finance class!
