"Sure, everybody's an individual, but researchers have observed that most people have certain characteristics that can be grouped into a small number of categories.

"People pick careers for a lot of reasons–including some bad ones. So in addition to identifying the Best Careers for 2007, U.S. News has also highlighted 10 occupations with a mystique that exceeds reality.

But these conclusions derive from more than 2,500 confidential counseling sessions I've conducted with real-world professionals over two decades as a career coach." 07-07

- Worst Jobs (Time.com)
"Things are especially tough for service workers in three low-wage U.S. industries: laundry services, supermarkets and nail salons. Industry representatives argue that conditions in these jobs are no worse than those in other competitive service sectors. But these are trades that often go unnoticed. Unlike many manufacturing jobs, these positions aren't vulnerable to outsourcing, but they?re losing protection as domestic unions lose sway." 07-07
