So what are you going to do for the rest of your life?

As you all know, I am planning on becoming a pharmacist (as long as I get in). However, if that doesn't work out, I'm really not sure what I want to get a degree in. I'm pretty sure most of you are in the same boat. So I have researched some "good" jobs according to some magazines :

From US World and News report:

• Audiologist
• Biomedical equipment technician
• Clergy
• Curriculum/training specialist
• Engineer
• Firefighter
• Fundraiser
• Genetic counselor
• Ghostwriter
  
• Government manager
• Hairstylist/Cosmetologist
• Health policy specialist
• Higher education administrator
• Landscape architect
• Librarian
• Locksmith/Security system technician
• Management consultant
• Mediator
• Occupational therapist
• Optometrist
• Pharmacist
• Physical therapist
• Physician assistant
• Politician/Elected official
• Registered nurse
• School psychologist
• Systems analyst
• Urban planner
• Usability/User experience specialist
• Veterinarian

A few notes on the above list:

• I was surprised at clergy made it on the list. I guess God is a pretty cool boss. I'd have thought the celibacy as a job responsibility thing would have knocked it down a couple pegs
  
• Glad fundraiser was on the list since I'm already doing a little bit of it
• Ghostwriter seemed promising but it turns out its just bascially a speech writer
• notice how locksmith was followed by security system technician. How politically correct of them
• how much training do you need to be a usability/user experience specialist?
• I don't think librarian should be on this list. Maybe it's just from some bad experiences in high school
• School psychologist should get paid more. Just think about how many Columbine-esque tragedies they have prevented without recognition
  

From Boston.com:

10. psychologist
9. pharmacist
8. real estate appraiser
7. computer/IT analyst
6. market research analyst
5. physicians assistant
4. HR manager
3. financial advisor
2. college professor (although they were a bit deceiving on this on. They mentioned that the median salary is $351, 542 for the DEAN OF MEDICINE! That's not the same as college professor)
1. software engineer

Notes:

• I'm seeing some recurring careers here as the following are on both lists: pharmacist, physicians assistant, psychologist, higher education staff, engineer

By the way, for those of you going into science related jobs, here is a hint for you. Don't go into any of the following as they are the worst science jobs according to Popular Science magazine:

10. Whale feces researcher (pretty obvious)
9. forensic entomologist (you study dead things and maggots)
8. olympic drug tester (you anger a nation is you get one, you look incompetent if you miss one)
7. gravity research subject (you lie in bed for 21 days straight to test the effects of lack of gravity)
6. microsoft security grunt (apparently, windows explorer is like the death star to hackers out there)
5. coursework carcass preparer (pretty obvious)
4. garbologist (think Indiana Jones, in a dumpster)
3. elephant vasectomist (guess what you will be looking at all day?)
2. oceanographer (not very obvious but apparently the oceans are slowly becoming inhospitable and there is nothing they can do about it)
1. hazmat driver (dive into sewage. Sounds like fun)
