One Terrible Job: IT Manager

Posted by timothy on from the racy-title dept.

editingwhiz writes "I suppose we've always suspected this to be true, but IT Manager's Journal reports that a recent email survey by the authors of a new book called 'Crap Jobs' says that IT managers have the U.K's third-worst job -- ranking just below phone sex operator (No. 1) and ferry cabin cleaner (No. 2). Hmmm. Do you agree?" (ITMJ, like Slashdot, is part of OSTG.) Maybe it's better in the U.S.?

    I'm an IT manager and I can think of numerous jobs that are worse than mine.
    • Fast food manager
    • Garbage man
    • "appointment setter"
    • door-to-door sales
    • ...
    The list is almost endless. I dare say that IT manager is one of the btter jobs currently available. Yes, it has it's stresses, but certainly not third worst. Who funds these studies, anyway?
