With the way the oilfield is going here in south Louisiana and no real reason for hope anytime soon, now may be the time for some to start thinking of a different profession.

Well, the folks at GlassDoor.com to the rescue. They've just released their annual list of the best jobs in America.

They based the list on three major factors: number of openings, salary and career opportunities.

Here are the top 10:

  1. Data Scientist
  2. Tax Manager
  3. Solutions Manager
  4. Engagement Manager
  5. Mobile Developer
  6. HR Manager
  7. Physician's Assistant
  8. Product Manager
  9. Software Engineer
  10. Audit Manager

Of course, most of these sound like you have to have very specific education and/or training. And I don't even know what about three of these are! Good thing I've got the Google.
