Top 10 Most (& Least) Prestigious Jobs in America: How Much They Earn and How to Land Them
Though most people probably don’t grow up wanting to be a farmer, a minister, and especially a caterpillar — a farmer and a minister are in fact considered by many people to be some of the most prestigious occupation in America. On the other hand, while occupations such as being an actor and entertainer may seem glamorous, these are not occupations that are held in high regard by the American public. Below, you will find a list of the ten most (and least) prestigious jobs in America, how much they earn, and you how may land them.
The 10 Most Prestigious Jobs in America
The following jobs listed below are considered by well over half of Americans to have “very great” or “considerable” prestige; unsurprisingly, many of them are also some of the most difficult jobs in terms of training, educational requirement, and work environment.

What a job! Paid to drink Jack Daniel’s
‘I’m the luckiest guy I know,’ says Old No. 7’s master distiller
LYNCHBURG, Tenn. – Jeff Arnett takes a sip of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7, just enough for it to settle on his tongue, and then — spits it out.
After all, he is at work. And besides, it’s the tongue, not the throat that’s vital, he says.
Whiskey lovers might not agree with his assessment. But for the master distiller at the 143-year-old Jack Daniel’s Tennessee distillery, it’s all about the taste. (Read more at: msnbc)

Where Struggling Americans Can Find a Fresh Start
Looking to start over? Find a new job? A new house? Here are 20 U.S. markets where jobs are available and real estate is affordable
Thousands of Americans across the U.S. are wondering if they would be better off somewhere else. The question is where?
As unemployment and foreclosures continue to rise, stocks keep fluctuating, and cash-strapped state and city governments move to increase taxes and trim services, many people are finding that careers and communities they once believed secure are no longer dependable. Either they have lost jobs, are in fear of losing a job, are stuck paying more mortgage than their homes are currently worth, or have seen their family’s quality of life evaporate. For those troubled Americans who are willing to relocate, the U.S. can still be a land of opportunity.
No state is totally buffered from the downturn, but several have gotten a boost from energy, military, and agricultural sectors. The healthiest states include Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. In the Washington area, federal government and defense jobs have given the economy a boost. And Iowa, which has seen its economy somewhat deteriorate, has also benefited from agricultural and alternative-energy jobs. (Read more at: BusinessWeek)

The 10 Hardest Jobs To Fill In America
If you’re looking for work in any of these fields, you’re in luck.
For the second year in a row, engineer is the hardest job to fill in America.
Why are engineers so hard to find? “We have whole generations of people loving liberal arts, not going into science and math,” says Larry Jacobson, executive director of the National Society of Professional Engineers.
Other professions on the staffing firm Manpower’s ( MAN – news – people ) list of the 10 hardest jobs to fill in the U.S.: information technology staffer, nurse, machinist and teacher. The survey of 2,019 employers was done in the first quarter of 2009. (Read more at: Forbes.com)

The new ‘good’ job: 12 bucks an hour
In the Midwest, communities race to replace dwindling auto jobs with renewable energy ones, but workers will have to sacrifice on their pay.
Massive investment in renewable energy could ultimately create 4 million manufacturing jobs. But for the workers in the bottom rung of this movement, the shift to green jobs could very well mean a pay cut of nearly 60%, a trend spreading across the entire manufacturing sector.
Many of the entry-level jobs making green energy components start at $12 an hour, much less than the now extinct $28 an hour job that had allowed high school-educated workers in the auto sector to achieve middle class status.
“Particularly at the lower end, these are not very good jobs,” said Philip Mattera, research director at Good Jobs First, a labor-friendly research group, also acknowledging that the renewable energy sector paid wages that were “all over the map.”
Talkback: Is $12 an hour a decent wage?
Americans are betting that molding steel wind turbines, slicing silicon for solar panels and making batteries for electric cars will put them back on top of the manufacturing game. The 4 million new jobs, estimated by the University of California, Berkeley, would bring back more than half of all the manufacturing jobs lost in this country since the sector’s heyday in the late 1970s.
