According to U.S. News, Job as an architect ranked in on the top 100 best jobs of 2014. Can any one guess where we stand...? It is at the amazing # of 92! Surprise..? Sad..?

US News jumped the shark a long time ago. This inane list also includes lawyers while even Harvard is temporarily hiring its own recent law graduates for low wage jobs so they can count them as employed for the next US News report. Yale has been know to solicit people to apply for their law school only to turn them down, all to keep their rejection rate high and look good in the next US News report. Drink the kool-aid, children, after you have given the Ivy League law school $200,000 in tuition money. Or the GSD.
People like these studies as it often confirms their own feelings about the profession. I only looked at the good "studies" when applying for architecture, and went through a phase of googling "architecture + bad career choice" when I couldn't find a job afterwards.

^ Yeah, but we're six whole notches ahead of the folks who shovel snow and remove refuse. I feel a whole lot better about my career choice now.

^ These kinds of "studies" are such bullshit that it's incredible that anyone pays any attention.
