What? Philosopher? LOL

Overworked? Make a Leap to America’s 10 Least Stressful Jobs - TIME NewsFeed

  • Audiologist

     

  • Dietitian

     

  • Software Engineer

     

  • Computer Programmer

     

  • Dental Hygienist

     

  • Speech Pathologist

     

  • Philosopher

     

  • Mathematician

     

  • Occupational Therapist

  • OK, list like this are usually pretty uninteresting, IMHO, but this one—the 10 least stressful jobs according to TIME and somebody called Careercast—is a hoot. An audiologist, I think, is somebody that gives hearing tests. So that makes sense, I guess. But philosopher? I didn't even know "philosopher" was a job. I mean, you know, since Aristotle and that other guy, whatever his name was. And what, pray tell, has a philosopher got to get stressed about? How can being a philosopher be more stressful than being an audiologist or a dietician? Dude. Seriously.
