VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Anyone with dreams of working in a newsroom won’t like this: “journalist” has been ranked as one of the worst jobs in Canada.
According to job search engine Adzuna.ca, our profession came in as the fourth worst. But at least we’re not number one.
Despite the high pay, the survey ranks “miner” at the bottom of the job heap, followed by “courier” and “construction worker.”
The study looked at more than 2,000 jobs, ranking them based on things like earning potential, stress, competitiveness, and job security.
“Journalist” also ranked in the top five for the most stressful gigs, just below oil rigger, doctor, and pilot.
On the flip side, the best careers in Canada are “translator,” “web developer,” “accountant” and, maybe not surprisingly, “video game designer.”
