Doesn't say anything about being Moto Guzzi parts personnel. It's a bogus report.

Parts/warehouse laborer. Counter sales. :wink: Of course that doesn't take into account Specialty shops and/or owner operated. :thumb:

I know quite a few aerospace engineers who drive trucks for a living that would disagree :)

U.S. senator, and African lion proctologist.

The white line painter working the night shift.
For longevity, the guy stamping out Moto Guzzi tank logos.

I'm not sure this list is very accurate. My field (#5) is historically not very secure and the description is not at all correct.
-
US post office mailman and US mailman gone postal
-
U.S. senator, and African lion proctologist.
Those two jobs do have a lot in common.
They both involve poking into nasty places at great risk.

I wanted to be a vetre , er vetra, uh , veterinarian , but Google wasn't around back then , and I kept misspelling it on vet school applications . Once it came out something close to vegeratarian . No wonder the lady in the business office at Saul Ross university couldn't stop laughing

Interesting you should mention Vet. From a different angle most people who want to become vets do so because they love animals. They then spend a very considerable proportion of their working life euthanasing animals! Depression and suicide rates are more than double national averages. Not at all good for longevity.
p.s. Joking about the Guzzi parts guy. Yes that guy will live to a good age. Very little stress. plenty different people to talk to, some interesting puzzles identifying parts (keeps the brain working) and hopefully a few satisfied customers.

As a poor hard working farmer, I still wouldnt mind having my own vineyard, or olive orchard, or maybe even a spagetti farm!

Wow #2, #4, #8, #10 & #21 all in Construction and I've worked at 4 out of the five professions.
No wonder I'm a glutton for punishment.

Beeing a watchmaker, I've never seen unemployment. Worked 20 years for myself and another 15+ for various businesses too. Then again, writers don't even know that dinosaurs and watchmakers DO exist! We're right next to the Guzzi tank logo guy....

They could have just renamed that poll "here's why you should go to college." All the 25 worst are manual labor. :rolleyes:

Sorry to say you are very wrong. As a truck driver I was never out of work for more than a day and made good money. My younger brother carpentrybyhand.com makes very good money. IMHO college is over-rated. I could go on and on with other examples.

I don't think I have ever posted a comment on this forum where somebody didn't tell me I was wrong. I'm getting used to it. :shocked:

Maybe we need a new list for top professions for "being right" Lawyer and Journalist at the top and Truck driver's at the bottom.

Im a Corrections Officer. check the stats on that one. Im screwed.
However apathy does go far for longevity in my business...

Clearly, lawyers & journalists are a different breed where you come from! As a group, with notable & many exceptions, of course, in the USA those professions are rarely associated with "being right."

I feel very lucky to have worked my way into a secure and fulfilling job in my industry (recreational boating). Many skilled tradesmen in the boating biz will tend to drop out and get into the residential home repair/remodelling biz. There are a lot more homes than boats. For some unknown reason, I had the presence of mind to specialize early, which gave me the time and training to work into a niche. There tends to be significant turnover with marine surveyors- and the profession has changed significantly over the years. I would have to say that good surveyors are in demand, while the rest are sort of along for the ride.

US post office mailman and US mailman gone postal
worked maint. for USPS for 30 years, sat on any ass waiting for machines to break and f**ked with
management when they asked how long the machine would be down. Hard to say which part I liked
best.
Anyway every letter carrier I knew had bad knees or a bad back after 15yrs.
don't know where the data is from but the construction related fields in this are have been union jobs historically
and probably have double the salary. Bricklayer/stonemason minimum wage? really? maybe in Mexico, AKA Texafornizona.

When I was a college professor, it was nearly impossible to get fired and there's no mandatory retirement age (Federal law). Now that I did finally retire and became Professor Emeritus, I don't think there's even a way to resign. How's that for longevity.

Many years ago I read that Elizabeth Dole (remember her?) went thru 4 personal secretaries in 6 months. Must have been a real b*tch. That was a 6 week average.

Technical Drafting for the Forestry Service? Huh?
