This is no news to anyone, but just came across a study on Wallstreetjournal comparing different jobs based on environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands and stress. Surprise! - Photojournalist is in the bottom 12.
Have a look.

But Actuary is number 1?

Software Engineer is number two.
Software Engineers that get to design custom hardware to run their software on are even more satisfied.
especially ex-management types that go back to working on a Lab bench.

Hell's teeth! Being an actuary and designing software are two of the worst jobs I can imagine, short of backbreaking manual labour. What idiot designed the algorithms to decide which jobs were 'best'?

And Historian is No.5? What? I was under the impression they all became University Lecturers because no one really cares?

Nope, a very very few end up as University Lecturers because it's the only way to make a living wage as a Historian. And they're always on the edge because their funding is the first to be cut. The other 98% get a day job, and do history as a hobby.

Managing 10 PhD level Physicists and Engineers makes working at the poop factory sound good.

The problem with lists like these is that they're tabulated by managerial types that look down on plumbers and trades in general. Yet who does the MBA call when the toilet won't flush properly.

film is exciting
I've got a friend who is an electrician who works four days a week, has two homes that are in his name and is 27 , and I can think of a few Plumbers making over 100k no issue. I'm not sure this list is entirely accurate.

missing in action
every year me and my actuary coworkers have a chuckle and wonder what made people think that being an actuary was so great, but our profession is always at the top of the list

Dealing with all that actuarial science and math would probably make me commit suicide . Too much goddamn math, one would imagine you'd at least have to like that stuff just a bit.

Dishwashers, bartenders, and waiters are on the list but no cooks or chefs??
Clearly the list is incomplete at best.

Well photographer is a bit higher at #126.
I'm sure competition from people with a D40 who can press a button is hurting the people who actually know photography.
