What Occupation Is the "Most Attractive" . . . If Salary Didn't Matter

People on social media are buzzing about the “most attractive” occupations, with one catch: assuming salary isn’t a factor.

The top response was the “t-shirt cannon guy” at sporting events. But this raises the question: is this “most attractive” in terms of potential significant others, or just most attractive for you personally? It seems people used both interpretations.

Here are some other highlights from the list:

  1. Traveling food critic
  2. Forest ranger
  3. Freelance musician
  4. Quality tester for a hammock manufacturer (???)
  5. Pro bono veterinarian
  6. Comic shop employee
  7. Working at an animal rescue/sanctuary, or just “holding baby animals”
  8. Baker
  9. Artist, with one person even specifying “Lego artist”
  10. Writer
  11. Freelance software engineer (noting that while software engineers can earn significant money, the industry can be grueling, so this is for doing fun work without being overworked)
  12. Paleontologist
  13. Teacher (highlighting the frustration that while this profession is very attractive, most teachers are underpaid)
  14. Librarian
  15. Pizza delivery (???)
