According to CareerCast.com, the website released its Jobs Rated List, a ranking of the 200 best and worst jobs of 2013. Which job might have people reconsidering their career path?

With low salary prospects, tight deadlines, and a 24/7 news environment, newspaper writing is a demanding job, with a negative employment growth. Newspapers have been closing by the dozens and those that are still open face continual contraction as revenue dwindles and ads migrate to the Internet. Even lumberjacks and soldiers, whose jobs were ranked as worse in past years, have improved in CareerCast's criteria compared with newspaper writers. For lumberjacks, the higher demand for lumber has given them a positive employment growth. As for the best job of 2013, actuaries can happily keep their day job. According to CareerCast, actuaries are in high demand, with a great work environment and high salary.

美國求職網站CareerCast近日公布了2013年美國職業排行榜，該網站職業排行榜的評價標準主要有四點：環境、收入、前景及壓力等。報紙記者因薪水低、任務緊、需隨時待命等因素成為年度最差職業，而近年需求持續走高的精算師因優良的工作環境和高薪被評為年度最佳職業。

Worst Jobs in 2013

2013年度十大最差職業

1. Newspaper Reporter 報紙記者

BLS（勞工統計局Bureau of Labor Statistics） National Salary Median: $36,000

Projected Job Growth: -6%

A job that has lost its luster dramatically over the past five years is expected to plummet even further by 2020. Someone even said, “The print model is not sustainable. It will probably be gone within the next 10 years.”

就調查數據上看，報紙記者的收入在目前來說不是最糟糕的，但是整個印刷業的暗淡的前景或者是艱難轉型讓這個曾經光鮮的行業風光不在，最終落到墊底的位置。

2. Lumberjack 伐木工人

BLS National Salary Median: $32,870

Projected Job Growth: 4%

The inherent danger of working with heavy machinery in remote locations, coupled with low pay and poor job prospects, ranks lumberjack as one of the worst jobs of 2013.

伐木工人的收入不僅低廉，而且工作環境偏遠又缺乏安全保障，再加上并不樂觀的職業前景，讓這個職業長期處于最差排名之中。

3. Enlisted Military Personnel 軍人

BLS National Salary Median: $41,998 (E-7, 8+ years experience)

Projected Job Growth: Varies

Enlisted military personnel is the most stressful job of 2013, as the men and women who volunteer in the Armed Forces are routinely placed in dangerous situations.

哪里有危險，就會看到軍人的身影。在這樣的隨時有生命危險的工作環境中，他們的壓力最大無可爭辯。

The rest of the ten worst jobs in 2013 includes: Actor（演員）Oil Rig Worker（石油鉆塔工人） Dairy Farmer（奶農）Meter Reader（抄表員）Mail Carrier（郵遞員） Roofer（屋頂建筑工程）Flight Attendant（飛機乘務員）

Best Jobs of 2013

2013年度十大最佳職業

1: Actuary 精算師

BLS National Salary Median: $87,650

Projected Job Growth: 27%

Those skilled in mathematics and statistical analysis can find rewarding opportunities as an actuary. The career is challenging, and becoming an actuary requires passing a series of three exams. It’s also constantly evolving and a process of lifelong learning

如果你有數字和統計分析上的天賦，精算師這個職位很適合你，高新且工作環境很好。但是這個行業要求也很高，要經過一些列的考試，并且內容也會不斷變化，可以說是一個終生需要學習的行業。由此可見，獲得最佳工作不是件容易的事情。

2. Biomedical Engineer 生物醫學工程師

BLS National Salary Median: $81,540

Projected Job Growth: 62%

Biomedical engineers work closely with physicians, researchers, manufacturers and sales associates. The profession will play a profound role in healthcare improvements in the coming years, which will fuel the profession’s astounding growth in job opportunities and compensation.

生物學工程領域涉及到各方面的學科，在醫療保健方面有很好的前景發展，再加上豐厚的薪酬，進入前三不在話下。

3 Software Engineer 軟件工程師

BLS National Salary Median: $90,530

Projected Job Growth: 30%

Computer technology is always changing and becoming more sophisticated. The latest wave in the field is cloud computing, and companies need software engineers able to meet this and other adaptations in the most fundamental facet of 21st century business.

計算機技術的發展日新月異，也更加成熟。不斷的新技術需要大量的人才，這使得軟件工程師這個從上個世紀末就大受追捧的職業在如今仍能擠進最佳職業的高位。
