A list of the best and worst jobs in the U.S. has been published today and, if you want to become a software engineer or computer programmer, I got good news for you. If you are a taxi driver or lumberjack…I got bad news. On a side note, how the hell a parole officer ranks in the top twenty and a nurse ranks at the bottom of the list is beyond me.

The study, to be released Tuesday from CareerCast.com, a new job site, evaluates 200 professions to determine the best and worst according to five criteria inherent to every job: environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands and stress.
