The Most Underrated Jobs 20132013年最被低估的工作 Computer systems analysts make a median salary of $80, 000 and they enjoy a projected employment growth rate of 22% between 2010 and 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The job is also relatively low stress but at the same time, intellectually challenging. It involves little contact with the public and doesn’t require employees to breathe in toxic fumes or lift loads of 50 lbs. or more. Those factors land computer systems analyst, for the second year in a row, in the number one slot on CareerCast.com’s list of most underrated jobs. 根据美国劳工统计局（Bureau of Labor Statistics）的统计，计算机系统分析师的薪资中值为80,000美元，预计在2010-2020年，他们的就业增长率将为22%。这项工作的压力相对而言比较低，但同时，对脑力的挑战巨大。它基本不与公众接触，也不要求员工吸入有毒气体或提着50磅以上的重物。这些因素使计算机系统分析师连续第二年雄踞CareerCast.com发布的最被低估工作排行榜榜首。 Second on the list, also with a median salary of $84, 000 and a projected employment growth rate of 36%: Veterinarians. Vets often prefer animals to humans. The job gives them a chance to interact with their favorite creatures, and in many cases, cure animals of disease. But vets spend much of the day on their feet, sometimes have to work outside in bad weather and must absorb the stress that comes with the illness and death of beloved animals, all of which keeps the job from making the top of the list. 位居第二的是兽医，薪资中值84,000美元，预计就业增长率为36%。兽医常常宁愿跟动物而不是人类打交道。这个工作使他们有机会跟自己最喜欢的动物互动，在很多情况下，治疗生病的动物。但兽医在一天中要花很多时间步行，有时还不得不在恶劣的室外条件下工作，同时必须承受自己喜爱的动物生病和死亡带来的压力，这些因素都使这个工作没能成为排行榜上的第一名。 Earlier this year, CareerCast, the five-year-old Carlsbad, Calif. jobs website, released its annual list of America’s ten “best” and ten “worst” jobs, after evaluating 200 professions using five core criteria: pay, hiring outlook, work environment, stress and physical demands. Within those categories, there are more than 100 sub-criteria, like degree of confinement in the work environment and income growth potential. The data come from the BLS, the Census Bureau, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and an array of private compensation surveys, trade association studies and state statistics. 今年初，创立五年、位于加州卡尔斯巴德的求职招聘网站CareerCast采用五项核心指标：薪资、雇用前景、工作环境、压力和体力需求，对200个职业进行了评估，发布了全美年度十大最佳和十大最差工作排行榜。在这些类别下，设有超过100个子类别，比如工作环境中的制约程度以及收入增长潜力等。数据来自美国劳工统计局、美国人口普查局（the Census Bureau）、美国职业安全与健康管理局（the Occupational Safety and Health Administration）以及多项私人薪酬调查、贸易协会研究和国家统计数据。 Two years ago, with unemployment persistently high and pressure on politicians to improve the jobs picture, Tony Lee, CareerCast’s publisher, says he and his team figured it was time to tap its data pool and release a list of jobs that may be unglamorous but that show strong employment growth potential, good salaries and low stress levels. While they don’t pay the six- or seven-figure compensation of hedge fund managers or heart surgeons, these underrated jobs allow workers to enjoy a decent standard of living, low stress, and a relatively bright employment outlook. To distinguish the underrated jobs from the “best” jobs, CareerCast used what Lee admits is a subjective set of observations, having worked on the best and worst jobs list for 18 years. He and his team took those jobs they believe most people see as undesirable, and then gave extra weight to compensation, employment outlook and stress levels. 两年前，由于失业率居高不下且政治家面临改善就业状况的巨大压力，CareerCast的发布者托尼•李（Tony Lee）说，他和他的团队认为，现在是时候利用其数据池，发布一份名单，对可能乏味但却具有强劲就业增长潜力的工作进行排名。虽然这些工作的薪酬达不到对冲基金经理或心脏外科医生的6-7位数收入水平，但这些被低估的工作可让员工享有体面的标准生活水准、较低的压力以及相对光明的就业前景。为了将被低估工作与“最佳”工作加以区分，CareerCast使用了李所说的一组主观评价。18年来他一直在编制最佳和最差工作排行榜。他和他的团队选出了他们相信大多数人会认为不理想的工作，然后提高薪酬、就业前景和压力水平这几项所占的权重。 Lee and his team used a similar method and put out a list of most overrated jobs. You can read that story here. 李及其团队采用类似方法，列出了一个最被低估工作的排行榜。 Lee has been working on the best and worst jobs data since 1995, when he, Wisconsin publisher Les Krantz and two statistics professors from the University of Wisconsin, started putting together the report for CareerJournal.com, a now-defunct site formerly run by The Wall Street Journal. After CareerJournal shut down, Lee teamed up with CareerCast and continued the project. 从1995年起，李就开始搜集和研究数据，评选最佳及最差工作，当时，他、威斯康星的一位发行人莱斯•克兰茨（Les Krantz）及两位来自威斯康星大学的统计学教授开始为CareerJournal.com提供报告。这家网站现已倒闭，之前由《华尔街日报》运营。在CareerJournal.com关门后，李与CareerCast合作，继续开展这一项目。 CareerCast’s most underrated job, computer systems analyst, also made its top ten best jobs list, at No. 10. Otherwise, there is no overlap between most underrated jobs and the site’s rating of best jobs. CareerCast评出的最被低估的工作就是计算机系统分析师，这也是其发布的十大最佳工作之一，排名第十。除此之外，最被低估工作与最佳工作之间没有重叠。 One caveat about this list and every other “most this” or “most that” jobs list: No matter how many metrics the raters use, the list makers’ judgment may be the most important element. Another website, CareerBliss, puts out a list of “happiest” and “unhappiest” jobs. (My colleague Jacquelyn covered it here.) This year there is no overlap between that list and CareerCast’s underrated roster. 关于此榜单及其他林林总总的“最……工作”排行榜的一项说明：不论评比人员采用多少标准，榜单制作者的判断都是最重要的因素。另一个求职网站CareerBliss出炉了一份“最快乐”和“最不快乐”工作排行榜。今年该榜单与CareerCast的最被低估工作排行榜间没有出现重叠。 Lee says he and his team make a serious effort to rate each job, using extensive data over a long period of time. Lee also admits that his starting point for the underrated and overrated lists is not objective. “They’re based on statistics but we make our subjective decisions using the data, ” he sayas. “We found some interesting surveys on job satisfaction. They help you realize things like the fact that attorneys, by and large, are unhappy in their jobs. Surgeons often burn out after 20-25 years in daily surgery.” 李说，他们非常严格地对每项工作打分，使用了跨越很长一段时期的大量数拓。李还承认，他在评选最被低估和最被高估的工作时，一开始并不客观。“评选工作基于统计数据，但我们在使用数据时会做出主观决定。”他说，“我们在工作满意度方面发现了一些非常有趣的调查报告，这帮助我们认清了很多事实，例如大部分律师在工作中都不快乐。外科医生在从事日常外科手术20-25年后，往往会产生倦怠感。” One question I had about this year’s list: How could Emergency Medical Technician rate in the top 12 (at No. 6)? I know three people who wanted to become EMTs but found that the pay was too low and the opportunities for advancement negligible. Lee insists that this is a profession on the rise, as municipal budgets come back and demand increases. “It’s basic supply and demand, ” he says, “and for all the other things we measure, the satisfaction level in this profession is really high. People do it because they love it, not because they need the job.” I’m still skeptical. I don’t think most EMTs are living on trust funds. But I hope Lee is right about job and pay growth. 我对今年榜单的一个问题是：急救医护人员怎么会成为排名前12的工作之一呢（排在第6位）？我认识的三个人曾想成为急救医护人员，但他们发现薪资太低，晋升机会几乎为零。李坚称，这是一个正在走上坡路的职业，因为市政预算又开始增加，而且需求不断上升。“这是基本的供求。”他说，“而且在我们评估的所有职业中，这一职业的满意度是相当高的。人们从事这项工作是因为他们热爱它，而不是因为他们需要这份工作。”我仍持怀疑态度。我不认为大多数急救医护人员是依靠信托基金生活的。但我希望李对这个职业的看法是对的，并且其薪水也会上涨。 At the least, these lists are fun to read. I wouldn’t want to be a computer systems analyst or a veterinarian (sick animals would make me too sad and I don’t do well with the sight of blood) or for that matter a plumber or an electrician (No. 10 and 11 on the list) but I’m intrigued that Lee and his team believe those jobs are underrated. At the least, if you are considering one of these professions, know that the pay and hiring outlook may be better than you think and the stress level not as taxing as you expect. 至少，看看这些排行榜还是很有趣的，我不想成为计算机系统分析师、兽医（生病的动物会让我心碎，而且我也不能看见血）、管子工或电工（排行榜上分列第10和11位），但让我感兴趣的是，李和他的团队认为这些工作都被低估。如果你正在考虑从事这些职业中的一个，那么你就得知道，它们的薪酬和雇用前景要比你想象的好，而压力水平并没有你预计的那么高。
