I'm absolutely shocked that a) Actuaries and TPA's are not on this list and b) that anyone on this board would entertain leaving their exciting and fulfilling careers for the menial and boring job as a Radiation Therapist.

In all seriousness...is it suprising to anyone that the legal and medical fields are heavily represented on this list? And, no offense to the attorneys in this field, but what kind of society have we become that we even need ONE Animal Defense Lawyer let alone have it be called a cutting edge hot job!

I wonder how they come up with this list.

Sorta like those poll results that no one you know has ever been polled for ?

How long did it take you to come up with this?

Anything less than two hours of active thinking would border on the miraculous.

Thanks! Consider it your pre-Easter miracle. About 5 minutes. Something meaningless and trivial, I'm quick. Ask me something on 1.401(a)(4) and it's more like 5 hours...

Belgarath:

You're right, it is a pre-Easter miracle.

It is akin to when the Jews crossed the Red Sea, as they escaped the oncoming Egyptians!
