According to “a survey of hundreds of thousands of employees” this year, law clerks have the 7th most hated job in the nation, reports CNBC. If you’re feeling bored with your bench memo, just be glad you’re not a Director of Information Technology (#1). And if you’re clerking for a federal judge, be grateful you’re earning more than the national median salary for law clerks: $39,780.
Here’s the full list:
1. Director of Information Technology
2. Director of Sales and Marketing
3. Product Manager
4. Senior Web Developer
5. Technical Specialist
6. Electronics Technician
7. Law Clerk
8. Technical Support Analyst
9. CNC Machinist
10. Marketing Manager
