Take this list of the top 200 jobs for 2011 with a big grain of salt. Lists like this are always very subjective and behind the times. To show how out-of-date this list really is, it says that the obsolete job of darkroom worker (“Photographic Process Worker”, position 90) is better than that of photographer (position 144).
The job of photojournalist ranks 185 out of 200. It beat out other “bottom-end” jobs such as meter reader, taxi driver, roofer, lumberjack and roustabout.
What jobs are better than that of photojournalist? Barber, security guard, janitor, shoe repairman, carpet installer, maid, garbage collector and dishwasher. But then again, with the current state of newspapers, maybe these jobs are better.
