Here is how I'd rank the top four jobs in America:
1. President. Most powerful person in the world, with millions in earnings and secret service protection for life after term is up.
2. Federal judge. Lifetime appointments.
3. Tenured professor. Essentially lifetime appointments.
4. NFL kicker. They rarely get hit, rarely have to tackle anybody, perform about 5 to 10 plays a week, 16 or so weeks a year, and can make upwards of a million a year. If not for the stigma, this would be no. 1 on the list.
