When parents look at their young children and imagine what they'll be when they grow up, many different possibilities come to mind. They dream of little Junior growing up to be a surgeon, or perhaps a commercial airline pilot, or maybe a banker, and they imagine a rewarding future of power, prestige, and high pay.The reality is actually a little different.
I thought it was going to list some marginal jobs with little chance of making it: actor, musician, pro athlete. But I believe it overrates pilots. You have to work several years at substandard wages until you get to the majors.
being a spy...it's heavy on the bureaucracy and consists mostly of meeting people, lying to them, andthen exploiting them....very immoral and dirty. a job that looks much better from the outside than the inside.

So it's no different than most corporate management/exec jobs.
I guessed three of those professions (pilot, attorney and real estate agent) right off the bat. Also I find that their "average salaries" are on the high side.
LOL, I'd definitely rather be a paralegal (most underrated) and work 90% of the hours attorneys doing the mindless drone work for one third of the money. Good old yahoo articles.

This article is such BS. Real Estate agents are bad jobs because of the economy - people are not buying houses.... but hey, go be a loan officer so you can loan money to...wait....
Corporate Executives jobs are bad because of the stress and long hours... but be an accountant, and if you are really good at it, you can one day become CF- oh wait....
Funny how jobs on both lists have overlapping attributes (both good and bad) that are not mentioned.
High barriers to entry for overrated jobs (licensing, education etc.). As if you can just walk off the street and become a Chiropractor, Physical therapist, dental hygienist, insurance agent, accountant etc.; or that the economy only impacts the overrated jobs.... and none of the underrated jobs have long hours.. even though a few of them support or report to those on the overrated list.

I agree these articles are badly skewed.
What caught my attention was:
why would an architect be overrated due to job prospects but civil engineers underrated?
