What Makes a "Best" Job?

MATHEMATICIAN vs. LUMBERJACK

What makes the best job is one that you enjoy and love.

Is the mathematician a better job compared to the lumberjack? That can be only answered according to one's ideological views, some of which are, as Jacques Lacan claims, a mask and a fraud.

Given that: Which one gets to be outdoors? Which one is with nature and can comprehend the language of Wordsworth as oppose to the dull language of logic?

Finally, which career requires a lot of experience and a Ph.D., in order to be competitive in the job market?

What makes a best job?

For millions, the one you still have (if you still do).

And what makes a question that I have not had answered is why my comments are posted twice when I only hit the submit button once? It's embarrassing.
