These Are The ’25 Best Jobs In America’ Right Now, And If You Ask Me #6 Through #2 Are A Lot Better Than #1

As they do every year, Glassdoor has released a report on the 25 best jobs in America (right now), and they’ve sent that report on over to Business Insider for analysis. These rankings are based on over all ‘job score’, which is a metric used by Glassdoor to determine the best jobs in ‘Merica at any given time. Here’s how that ‘job score is calculated’:

To compile the ranking, Glassdoor identified 25 specific jobs with the highest overall Glassdoor “Job Score,” which is based on a five-point scale. The job score is determined by equally weighing the average annual base salary shared by US-based employees over the past year, career opportunities ratings shared over the past year, and number of open job listings posted to Glassdoor in a three-month period.

Below is the list of the 25 Best Jobs In America Right Now (from Glassdoor and Business Insider), but if you ask me numbers 6 through 2 are all better than the #1 job in America (right now), which is ‘Physician Assistant’. Being a Physician Assistant, or ‘PA’ as they’re most often called, allows a person to practice medicine in many of the capacities that doctors do, only becoming a PA doesn’t require nearly as much schooling. But being a PA comes with the same burdens of being a doctor: constantly working with sick people in distress, which can be incredibly taxing on one’s life. Contrast that stress with the other professions in the ‘top 25 best jobs’ and you’ll see what I mean about how I’d rather be #’s 6 through 2 instead of a PA.

See what I mean? Doesn’t six through two all sound better than being a Physician Assistant, who’s still often at the mercy of a doctor for certain procedures and the operating of a practice? I mean, maybe I’m alone in thinking that being a Biz-Dev manager would be 10x better than a PA..but maybe I’m not.
