So You Want to Be Either an Optician or Roustable

What are the best and worst jobs for 2011? What about optician? CareerCast discovered the answer to these questions in a recent study, and the company posted the results. Opticianry came out 63 of the top of the 200 jobs analyzed, beating out careers such as mechanic engineer. Why? The work environment (317.7) is comfortable unlike that of a roustable (1731.45). Contrary to what opticians may tell you, they live a stress-free life (15.43), according to CareerCast, which states that it's about half that for a roustabout. The physical demands for a roustabout are about four times that for an optician. What about pay? It pays the same, more or less, but CareerCast's number reflects the national average for licensed and non-licensed opticians. So on the next tough, opticians remember this: You could be rousting for the same.
