Google Leads List of Desired Employers...
« on: March 22, 2011, 12:41:05 AM »
...but I found the top ten to be an interesting mix. The top 150 is on the clickable image.

Looks like nobody wants to be journalists or community organizers any more.

I laughed at number 120. Surprised the FBI and State Department ranked so high.

Army ranks above Air Farce.... Pepsico beats Army but not Coke... (I worked for Pepsi for about 6 years),  DHL not on list, neither is Fedex, but the USPS makes the list at 74

Mayo Clinic at #15.  Not sure what to think of that.

USAA #81 they should rank higher.


Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I figured FBI ranked high for the same reason as CIA -- it sounds adventurous and TV makes them both glamorous, despite the reality of likely being an analyst at a desk. I too was surprised by the State Dept's rank.

You mean they don't all get to travel the world, and learn to fight like Bruce Lee, and to pull slides off of pistols to disarm opponents, and learn to blow up buildings with toasters and newspaper like Matt Damon?

There are only a handful of employers on that list I'd work for willingly.

Is that a pharmacist who only prescribes E.D. medications?
