The 5 Best Jobs in America
By Alex Planes, The Motley Fool
Filed under: Investing
Few decisions will have as lasting an impact on your life as your choice of profession. You can pour your life into a career, only to see it taken away as technology and business attitudes render your specialty obsolete. On the other hand, if you discover that you happen to be great at a job that looks to be in high demand for decades to come, you can practically write your own meal ticket.
But what are the best jobs? CareerCast.com, a targeted career site, recently put together its list of the best and worst jobs in America, which it ranks using a proprietary formula based on the general categories inherent to every job: environment, income, outlook, and stress level. A better environment, a higher income potential, robust future growth, and manageable stress levels all combine to create a great job. The five jobs you’re about to see offer the best overall combinations of factors, which makes them the five best jobs in America. Let’s see what makes them so appealing.
5: Financial Planner

- Median pay: $64,750 per year

Many of our longtime Foolish readers will certainly appreciate this one, as we do count a number of financial planners among our readership. This profession helps people get their finances in order, whether it’s by helping to build a portfolio, minimize a tax burden, or recommend a good insurance policy. Although you can become a financial planner right out of college, many ambitious individuals seek out the Certified Financial Planner certification, which requires a fairly comprehensive course of study. There are only about 50,000 CFPs in the United States, or roughly a quarter of the total financial planning profession.
4: Audiologist

- Median pay: $66,660 per year
- Entry-level education: Doctoral or professional degree
- Number of jobs: 13,000
- Expected new jobs by 2020: 4,800 (37% growth)
This is a small but vital part of the health-care community, and it will only grow in importance as more baby boomers find that their years of listening to the Rolling Stones or Steely Dan or [insert your favorite band here, boomers] at full volume has left them with hearing that’s a bit less than perfect. Because of their large niche population but small base of employment, most audiologists operate with less competitive pressure than other medical professionals, as is the case with general-practice doctors, dentists, optometrists, and the like. According to Gallaudet University, more than 38 million people in the United States are deaf or hard of hearing — that’s nearly 3,000 patients per audiologist.
3: Software Engineer

Three Public Officials Jailed For Selling Information To The Sun
By The Huffington Post News Editors
* Former officials guilty of passing information to papers
* Four now convicted since launch of phone-hacking inquiry
By Michael Holden
LONDON, March 27 (Reuters) – Two former policemen and an ex-prison officer were jailed on Wednesday for selling stories to Rupert Murdoch‘s tabloid the Sun, Britain’s top-selling newspaper.
The three men were convicted as part of a wide-ranging police investigation begun two years ago into claims journalists from Murdoch’s now-defunct News of the World newspaper had hacked into mobile phone voicemail messages.
That inquiry has led to dozens of arrests of current and former staff at News International, the British newspaper arm of Murdoch’s News Corp., and has been widened to examine claims of illegal payments to public officials.
The long-running scandal forced the closure of the News of the World and has called into question the judgment of British Prime Minister David Cameron, who was friends with several of Murdoch’s senior executives.
Richard Trunkfield, 31, who worked at a high-security prison in central England, gave information to the Sun about Jon Venables, who was aged 10 when he and another child killed a toddler in 1993 in one of the most infamous murders in Britain in recent times.
The prison officer, who had contact with a Sun journalist between 10 and 15 times, receiving 3,500 pounds ($5,300)in the process, was handed a 16-month jail sentence at London‘s Southwark Crown Court.
“It is most assuredly not for individual prison officers to take it upon themselves to contact the press to reveal information about a defendant in circumstances such as those before the court today, still less to enrich themselves in the process,” said the judge, Justice Adrian Fulford.
Alan Tierney, 40, an ex-police constable based in Surrey to the south of London, was paid 1,250 pounds for details of the arrest of former England soccer captain John Terry‘s mother on suspicion of shoplifting, and the arrest of Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood, …read more

News Corp. Scandal: UK Officials Plead Guilty To Selling Information To The Sun
By The Huffington Post News Editors
LONDON, March 8 (Reuters) – An ex-policeman and a prison officer admitted on Friday to selling information to the Sun, a British tabloid newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch, in the first guilty pleas to come out of a huge police investigation into wrongdoing by journalists.
Former police officer Alan Tierney pleaded guilty to two counts of misconduct in public office for selling stories about the mother of England soccer player John Terry and about Rolling Stones member Ronnie Wood, the Press Association (PA) reported.
Prison officer Richard Trunkfield pleaded guilty to one count of misconduct in public office for selling information about a high-profile prisoner, the PA reported.
The charges against the pair stemmed from an inquiry launched in January 2011 into allegations journalists from Murdoch’s now defunct News of the World newspaper had hacked voicemails of mobile phones.
That inquiry was later widened to include other illegal activities, including payments to public officials for stories.
