The list of 200 were judged by; work environment, stress level, hiring percentage, income, and physical demands. The list begins at number one for the best job to have and slowly turns into the worst at number 200.

Let's begin with the top five jobs.

1. Actuary
2. Biomedical Engineer
3. Software Engineer
