<p>Three engineering disciplines and two tech jobs in the top ten. Let's see how quickly people start criticizing the choices, lol.</p>
<p>Software Architect: #1 haha! My boss this summer was a software architect. A very serious yet brilliant guy from Ireland with great humor. He worked 14 hours a day though… easily over 70 (perhaps over 80) hours a week including 6 hours of meeting a day. And he was the architect a $60 million software project among others. One thing is good though: people like him are unlikely to be offshored. But who knows!</p>
<p>Surprised that medicine is not listed here. In any case, I think that the job growth figures are highly inflated (or perhaps not corrected for outsourcing).</p>
<p>Wow, three minutes, excellent!</p>
<p>The best job in America is to be the son / daughter of Bill Gates.</p>
<p>
there are few medical jobs on there…being a physician is supposed to be stressful, so maybe that why it’s not on there</p>
<p>
those are ten-year forecasts…and how can they “corrected”? outsourcing is sending stuff overseas to be done, not bringing workers in on an H1B visa</p>
<p>anyways…what’s the difference b/n a software engineer and a software architect?</p>

<p>^ Long hours and heavy stress load probably account for that.</p>
