Many ‘Dream Jobs’ Overrated … Website Says
By Staff Reporters
Everyone, it seems, aspires at some point in their lives to become a doctor. It’s somewhat of a dream job to most people: High pay, respect, prestige, authority. Of course, the readers of this ME-P may know better!
Nevertheless, for those who never made the dream come true, there’s some comforting news:
Doctor is the most overrated profession there is, according to a website that analyzes careers.
Yep, on a list of 12 most overrated jobs compiled by CareerCast.com, doctors — specifically surgeons, physicians and psychiatrists — occupy three of the top five spots. Only a corporate executive is more overrated, according to the website.

Assessment:
CareerCast analyzed pay, stress, physical demands and the current and future employment outlook in compiling its list.
And stockbrokers, vilified in the current Wall street protests taking place in New York, Atlanta [home of the ME-P] and many other cities, average a little over $67,000 a year, less than some teachers.
