I have to agree that one of the best jobs has to be that of a clergy man, I mean you get the whole following of the flock behind you, plus you get to preach your views for all to be heard.

I am not sure about whether psychologists have the happiest jobs, they always seen a little boring to me. I do agree however that authors have a good ride when it comes to their job.
