"  Typically, when we see fashion designers it&amp;#039;s at the end of their seasonal runway shows, taking a bow and soaking up the applause \u2014 a glamorous life, right? Well, apparently not. According to CareerCast&amp;#039;s annual Top 200 Jobs list, the position of fashion designer has tumbled down into the bottom 20, hovering just above butcher and maid. So, what gives? CareerCast based these rankings on a range of criteria, including work environment (both mental and physical factors were taken into account), income, the projected outlook of the particular industry, and the amount of stress encountered while on the job. It can be easy to forget that for every Ralph and Calvin there are throngs of underpaid and overworked folks attempting to become the next big thing. And while fashion is generally perceived as a creative endeavor, the garment trade operates on a strict, Sisyphusian schedule which requires acts of brilliance to be produced biannually (sometimes even quarterly). In other words, it&amp;#039;s a lot of work with no promise of success. But despite the pitfalls of their chosen occupation, at least designers aren&amp;#039;t at the very bottom of the list. That spot is reserved for journalists, and, well, who would ever be so dumb as to choose that as a career? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
